  • GenAI: Hype, Hope, Happening, or Here to Stay?
    Jul 29 2025

    We all know someone who thinks GenAI can do literally everything (probably the same person who says “let’s circle back” in every meeting). 🙄

    In our latest episode, Pete & Kat dive into:

    ✅ Why “AI-washing” is the new greenwashing
    ✅ Use cases that ACTUALLY matter (and save your weekends!)
    ✅ How guardrails and trust will make or break your AI strategy
    ✅ Why the future is human-led, AI-augmented

    If you’re still waiting on the platform, this train is leaving the station FAST. Winners won’t be those with the flashiest tools - they’ll be the ones with trustworthy AI and people on board.

  • The great CRM unbundling: Do we even need one system to rule them all?
    Jul 15 2025

    Did your CRM promise a utopia but delivered a fancy Rolodex with a UX degree?

    Join Pete and Kat as they bravely poke the sacred cow of CRM and ask the tough questions like:

    ❓ Why does your telco need seven days and a séance to fix your modem?
    ❓ Why does your virtual agent sound like a confused intern filling out a colour chart?
    ❓ And why does it still take 5.2 days to solve a problem that should take 30 minutes?

    It’s the CRM roast you didn’t know you needed - with real data, real frustration, and a really broken Wi-Fi modem.

    🧠 Expect:

    • Insights from the customer service research report
    • Tales of tech trauma and loyalty on life support
    • A vision for fixing the “messy middle” with workflow orchestration and GenAI
    • ...and a heartfelt plea: "Do it for Kat. Please. She’s still on hold."

  • Behind every click is a human: an interview with former Global Head of Digital for the Virgin Group
    Jul 14 2025

    In this episode of the ServiceNow Executive Circle podcast, Kat Finch sits down with Alex Hunter — global brand expert and former Global Head of Digital at Virgin Group — for a fast-paced, deeply insightful conversation on customer experience, AI, and why brand trust still matters more than ever.

    Drawing on stories from his time launching Virgin America to helping brands today navigate generative AI, Alex urges businesses to start with the problem, not the platform. He explores how AI can be used to deepen human connection, not dilute it, and why the brands that succeed are those that focus on making life easier — not noisier — for their customers.

    Whether you're in marketing, digital, or C-suite leadership, this is a masterclass in keeping brand experiences human at a time when everything feels increasingly automated.
