(NASDAQ: TTEC), a leading global CX (customer experience) technology and services innovator for AI-enhanced CX, today released its annual trends report, CX Trends 2026: Fast-Forward, spotlighting five critical shifts reshaping how organizations must engage customers in the year ahead.
“The world isn’t slowing down,” said Ken Tuchman, chairman and chief executive officer of TTEC. “Technology is evolving, customer expectations are rising and brands that stay stuck in the past will lose customer satisfaction, revenue, and loyalty by the day.
