Communicate. Calculate. We suggest: • Improve and simplify digital channels to accommodate the younger generation's propensities to initiate frequent contact and preference for digital. • Don't hang up the phone. Not everyone is ready to use digital. Empower agents with tools and knowledge for quicker issue resolution. • Use analytics to provide personalized customer care and new product/services offerings.
