Hi, I'm John and I'm the managing partner of the foundation. And I was talking about my book, The Human Experience. I think the key highlight for me is about not just relying on data to help you understand your customers. You have to get out there, really experience people's lives, really spend time with them, not believing the kind of myth of loyalty that people are going to stay with you because they love you, they don't. They are just with you because you're useful. To stay useful, you have to really understand them in their lives and try and reconnect with being the human being that we all spend our whole lives trying to be. But I think the big challenge is to start to differentiate yourself away from just being about AI, which everyone will be talking about. It's really important, but there are other things that exist in terms of customer relationships outside of just AI. And if you end up just focusing on that, you'll end up losing your point of differentiation with everybody else. So I would really be looking at the opportunity to hone in on this human being side of the organization that we have and use in collaboration with new technology to help create great experiences and meaningfully differentiate yourself from your competitors. I've really enjoyed MAD//Fest. It's kind of crazy. And there's lots going on. It's a bit like being in a real festival. I think it's a really interesting place to speak. I think they feel like there's a lot of energy here. I like the kind of fast turnover, grabbing different ideas and moving on to other areas as well. And he feels like he's got a really great mix of people too, in comparison to maybe some of the others that are more focused on one industry or one particular topic. So I've really enjoyed the mix of people here, which I think really drives creativity.

Thanks for this John Sills, always the hipster, well done! Great points about not forgetting about the human side of things. Seeing everyone getting obsessed with AI as you mentioned, but if we use human connections, we can lose our customers. I am looking forward to catching up in a few weeks! Amy Stephenson
