Pitfalls on the Path to Hyper-Personalisation - Why less is often more in Digital Experience

This session explores why chasing perfect personalisation can hinder CX impact, and how relevance and speed often deliver better results with less risk:

  • Hyper-personalisation is hard - don't forget to realise value on your journey to deliver perfect CX
  • Getting the data you need to personalise deeply creates privacy risk
  • Context and relevance can often deliver the same or better results - must faster - giving you more time to experiment and get creative
