Where WFM is Headed

Monday Oct 31, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM EDT — RECORDING



As users of WFM, we are all very good at predicting what will happen in the future when it comes to our volumes. But what about WFM itself? Technology is changing seemingly at the speed of light and do you know what do you need to be prepared for to stay one step ahead? Where will we be in 5, 10, or 20 years with the technology and practice? Will AI make it all effortless, or will we still need to spend hours with spreadsheets? 

Join us for a compelling roundtable where we discuss the long-term prognosis of WFM and what you might be able to do today to prepare for the next wave of WFM technology.

Presenters:

Dave Hoekstra, Product Evangelist, Calabrio

Calabrio.Dave-Hoekstra Dave Hoekstra, Product Evangelist, Calabrio

When it comes to Contact Centers, Dave has seen it all. He started his journey in the 90’s as an agent and continued through every role a contact center has to offer, eventually finding his way into his current role of Evangelist. Being Calabrio’s Product Evangelist is by far the favorite of all his roles as it gives him the ability and pleasure of sharing his knowledge and experience with other folks in the industry. And yes, being a father, grandfather, bassist, podcast host and photographer (and Texan), he uses words like “folks”. Combining 20+ years of experience in the industry with the rest of his life experience, Dave has a unique perspective of the tools, technology and challenges faced by today’s modern CX organizations and he looks forward to each and every interaction.
