Syllabus

• Reading Customer Signals with AI Assistance
The foundation of AI-augmented customer intelligence is the ability to read and interpret the signals that AI surfaces. This module refreshes your understanding of how Customer 360 dashboards work, how sentiment analysis translates customer emotions into actionable data, and how to evaluate where AI automation adds value systematically. You'll practice applying these concepts through a coach dialogue focused on AI deployment decisions.
• Validating and Personalizing AI Outputs
AI can accelerate your work, but only if you know how to validate and improve its outputs. This module focuses on the critical skill of evaluating AI recommendations and communications before they reach customers. You'll review validation frameworks, personalization techniques, and account health monitoring—then practice applying these skills through a coach dialogue focused on improving AI-generated customer communications.
• Integrating AI Intelligence with Operational Decisions
The true test of AI-augmented customer intelligence is your ability to integrate everything—dashboard insights, AI recommendations, validation skills, and operational realities—into coherent action. This module challenges you to balance SLA pressures with proactive engagement, make decisions when AI recommendations conflict with your judgment, and demonstrate your integrated capabilities through a summative project that creates a portfolio-ready artifact.
