This year’s winners include:
- CX Team of the Year – Planned Parenthood: This recognition signifies Planned Parenthood’s exceptional strength in creating seamless customer journeys from start to finish via its Bold360-powered chatbot, Roo. Roo is designed to provide visitors – largely teens – with a safe place to get the reproductive health and sexual education answers they need via a fun, interactive experience. To date, Roo has handled nearly 5 million conversations, successfully answering more than 80% of questions and maintaining a 70% user satisfaction rating. Despite its initial success, Planned Parenthood was not satisfied: it expanded Roo from its original mobile-only format to provide desktop accessibility, as well, and in mid-2019, began offering seamless transition to live chat with health educators. Roo’s mission inherently aligns with making CX a deeply human exercise, and Planned Parenthood’s commitment to growth, empathy and meeting user needs is a model for CX at large.
- Industry Disruptor – Christine Kilmer, Fannie Mae: As an industry disruptor, Christine Kilmer, Product Owner of Fannie Mae’s Ask Poli, is redefining the way the mortgage industry, organization and the CX community thinks about engagement. Christine has been the leader of Fannie Mae’s Ask Poli efforts from the beginning, when it was just an idea. However, with her vision for the product and how it could improve the business, Ask Poli has become an indispensable tool for mortgage originators and servicers to serve homebuyers and homeowners. Christine has led an expansion of Ask Poli deployments to include a mobile offering, integration with other Fannie Mae applications and as a component for the company’s top-tier lending partners to streamline their experience. Christine continues to trailblaze and magnify the capability to offer increased value and insights to Fannie Mae and its customers. Christine and Ask Poli continue to be integral to Fannie Mae’s innovation roadmap.
- Outstanding Women in CX – Dawn Connet and Zhaia Wineinger, State of Iowa: Leadership and accomplishment in CX is a prerequisite for this recognition, and Dawn Connet, eGovernment Services Coordinator, and Zhaia Wineinger, Web Designer and Strategic Communications and Policy Specialist, easily fill that requirement. Under Dawn’s leadership and with Zhaia’s implementation expertise, the State of Iowa built AI capabilities into its live chat mix, both improving overall CX positioning and enabling adoption across departments, including the Insurance Division and Department of Transportation. Overall, Iowa has enabled tens of thousands of self-service engagements in the past year. In addition to this tangible success, Dawn and Zhaia’s contributions equally shine through in their leadership on this project and their work together advancing the industry towards sustainability for all women and an equitable CX and technology ecosystem.
