Have the word "failure" follow you around for long, and you may even start to believe you are one. But Baba Shiv, a professor of marketing at Stanford Graduate School of Business, explains that it's how you approach failure that makes the biggest difference.

I am in the car with the Ex and the kids. The Ex plays a Yeastie Girls CD, which was probably mine but he wanted it in the divorce. It’s a live concert and in the middle they start giving away speculums to promote women’s health. The boys perk up when the Yeastie Girls yell out to the audience, “Don’t use this in your butt!” Suddenly women’s health is a fascinating topic.

When deciding how to respond to a threatening new entrant, companies often assume that they are facing a disruption, that is, an innovation that allows upstarts to build a new market from the bottom up. But new products and services can enter your market from other directions, each distinct in terms of how, where, and when it affects your business. They are all market dislocations -- radical breakaways that create new markets and make old markets obsolete.

The 'great resignation' and the 'great talent reshuffle' have impacted contact center and customer support staff as much, if not more than, any other part of the workforce. Couple that with a potentially volatile economy and it's clear that organizations must invest in innovative approaches if they want employees who are engaged and informed enough to significantly improve the customer experience and eliminate the high costs associated with agent attrition.
