The Cost of Friction in Customer Operations: Where AI Helps and Where It Hurts

14 May 2026

Lilibet’s Mayfair, London

Friction in customer operations continues to drive up cost to serve, whether through repeat contacts, slow resolution times, peak time pressure, or inconsistent responses that impact customer trust. Many organisations are looking at AI to improve efficiency, but the reality is that results vary depending on where and how it is applied.

This closed-door discussion will focus on practical experiences of using AI in customer operations where it is delivering measurable impact, where it has been harder to realise value and what needs to be in place to scale it safely.

Key discussion areas:

  • High-volume journeys delivering measurable savings
  • Governance, escalation, auditability, compliance
  • Integration reality: avoiding tool sprawl and cost surprises
  • From pilot to production
