State of Digital Customer Experience: How Generative AI and Personalization Are Transforming the Digital Customer Experience Landscape

Customers around the world are looking for speed, security, and personalization when interacting with brands, and executives across industries will need to adapt to these expectations quickly to stay ahead of their competition. Our 2023 State of Digital Customer Experience report, developed in collaboration with Adobe, examines how businesses can leverage technologies like generative AI to improve their customer experience strategies.

To better understand the current CX landscape, we surveyed 1,500 executives and 4,000 customers, including business buyers, from 13 countries. We also conducted several in-depth interviews with executives across industries to provide more context about how different companies approach the entire customer journey—including the advanced technologies they are deploying to support the customer experience. Our research shows that executives have big plans to continue expanding their CX tech stacks and business frameworks, but critical gaps in their strategies remain: they must do more to understand the preferences of their customers and provide the positive experiences that keep them loyal.

Powering Growth: How Data Centres Are Reshaping APAC Economies

At Oxford Economics, we help you surface and quantify those contributions, turning anecdotes into evidence. Our Economic Impact Consulting team builds defensible models that capture direct, indirect, and induced impacts, plus catalytic effects that are often missed, such as supplier development, skills formation, productivity gains, and infrastructure upgrades. We translate your operational data into board and regulator ready insights on jobs, GVA, incomes, and tax across construction and operations, at city, provincial, and national levels. We also run forward looking scenarios, including AI driven load growth, power and carbon forecast, and policy shifts, so you can credibly articulate both today’s impact and tomorrow’s trajectory. The result is a clear country level value story that strengthens stakeholder trust, supports siting and incentives, and helps you scale with confidence.
No US-style AI investment boom to drive EU growth

No US-style AI investment boom to drive EU growth

AI-related investment is unlikely to be a near-term driver of GDP growth in the EU, unlike the US where it contributes significantly. Despite rapid expansion, the AI sector in the EU is still too small and heavily reliant on imports.
