That "95% GenAI failure" stat? Pure FUD.

A tiny MIT report (n=153) got it by literally ignoring all productivity gains.

The grown-ups at Wharton (n=~800) just dropped their 3rd-year study: 74% POSITIVE ROI.

I wrote the full debunking.

Did you know that #customerexperience and a suitcase have a relationship?

No?

Then it is time for you to learn something new ;)

Following a recent international travel with some luggage challenges, I put some thoughts to the virtual paper.

Unpacking #SAPConnect 2025. Lots of information on #CX, #A,I #apps, #data and flywheels.

But most importantly: What is the connection between Enterprise Software and Cinderella?

After the acquisition by @thomabravo.bsky.social , @PROS gets divided into a #B2B and a #B2C branch. B2B goes to @Conga , B2C stays as an own business for now. What does it mean?

Still manually juggling 50+ tabs while your "AI" sips virtual coffee? ☕️ It's time for an upgrade. Agentic AI is no longer a buzzword; it's the operational backbone your business needs.

Stop planning and start doing. Dig in:

Hot take: "Unified CX Platform" awards are missing the point if they only focus on service. True #CX unification is bigger than that. My new article challenges the status quo. What's your take, #CX leaders? #CustomerExperience #UnifiedCX #ThoughtLeadership

#NiCE acquires #Cognigy, #Verint goes to #ThomaBravo, #Genesys gets serious funding and #Avaya scales down (or does it wind down?).

Looks like there is a major meltdown going on in the #CCaaS industry.

But what does this mean for customers and #CX?

The MIT published a report on the state of GenAI in 2025. 95% of all implementations fail. How scary.

What we overlook amongst all the fear mongering that this study caused: There is deep insight into how to do it right.

But how?

Moving house sucks even at the best of all times. It is a lot of effort and requires trustworthy partners. Are moving companies up to the job?

A case study.

@microsoft.com first lays off 9,000 employees and then reports record profits and becomes a 4 trillion dollar company.

Does this jibe?

@zohoinfluence.bsky.social made a splash last week and goes all in with #AI. But what does it mean? Is it hybrid, bold, just inevitable - or something in between?

@Creatio_Global goes agentic with its "Twin" release, but with a twist.

The company is in the intersection of #nocode, #agenticAI and #businessprocess

This combination has the potential to rewrite the rules of make or buy. Will #Creatio be a driver of this change?

@salesforce.com just released #Agentforce 3. What does this mean for #enterprises and the #EnSW market?

Is it ready for the enterprise or are additional iterations required?

Many questions.

Some answers.

Is the #CDP ripe for sunset?

A #customer #data #platform has always been a band aid.

In times of #AI this is more true than ever.

But what could be its replacement?

@SAP just held its annual #Sapphire event. There have been very interesting news - and some notable silence.

One thing is clear. The company does not believe that #SaaS is dead. Neither is the #ERP.

But what is the news?

Which is one of the processes employees like the most?

Right, expenses. It is a reai pain in the backside.

But!

This doesn't need to be. Here a case study on how #IFFCO made this process a breeze using @zohoinfluence.bsky.social Expense

Is #NoCode in combination with #AI the future of enterprise software?

Are the days of prepackaged software approaching its sunset?

During the NoCode days, @Creatio certainly gave us a hint of how the future of #CRM could look like.

Do #genAI and #agenticAI kill #platforms and #SaaS in one fell swoop?

Will we see custom applications emerge like the phoenix from the ashes, customizable applications, or anything in between?

What do you think?

My take?

@Nimble goes #marketing. Why does it matter?

For the longest time, Nimble focused on social outreach and personal communication. This has one obvious challenge: Even the best #salesrep can scale only so much.

How does Nimble overcome this? Read here

You think that you cannot achieve a 100% adoption of your #CRM?

You are DEAD WRONG!

Here's the story of one company that has been there and done that with @zohoinfluence.bsky.social
