CEOs across industries are watching competitors adopt AI while their own teams hesitate. Many feel stuck between pressure to act and fear of getting it wrong.

This is where an AI strategy workshop for CEOs makes the difference. It bridges the gap between curiosity and clarity, giving executives the tools and mindset to lead confidently.

How product leaders use AI-powered UX metrics to go beyond NPS

By Cindy Brummer
Posted in
For two decades, the Net Promoter Score (NPS) has been the go-to metric for understanding customer loyalty—but it’s showing its age. NPS tells you what users feel, not why. With today’s AI-powered UX metrics, product leaders can go beyond surface scores to uncover real user sentiment, map behavior patterns, and even predict churn before it happens. The result? A richer, more actionable understanding of the user experience—one that helps teams make smarter decisions, faster.
