Based on 80,594 interviews evaluating 2,684 brands in 16 regions, the report shows that AI is at the center of corporate priorities: 55% of CEOs identified investment in this solution as their main strategic focus \u2014 specifically to enhance customer experience.<\/p><p>\u201cWe are entering a new phase of customer experience, in which artificial intelligence moves beyond being a technological support tool and becomes a driving force of strategy. The rise of agentic AI accelerates the integration of customers, employees, and partners within a single intelligent journey, enabling real-time decision-making and far more consistent experiences. Organizations that succeed in unifying data, processes, and technology will be prepared to compete in a market where personalization will be fully automated,\u201d explains Leonardo Giusti, KPMG partner.<\/p><p><strong>Complete Experience as the New Model of Excellence<\/strong><\/p><p>Full integration between data, processes, and technology forms the foundation of what is referred to as the \u201ccomplete experience\u201d \u2014 an approach that unifies customer-centric design, data-driven insights, omnichannel integration, employee empowerment, and a technological infrastructure that supports every interaction. The report highlights that organizations and leaders are not only meeting expectations but anticipating them, eliminating friction, and connecting the entire value chain with speed and empathy.<\/p><p>\u201cThe research revealed that the world is at an inflection point in the evolution of customer experience. Driven by the rise of artificial intelligence \u2014 capable of perceiving, reasoning, and acting autonomously \u2014 organizations are rapidly shifting from fragmented models to fully integrated structures built around a complete experience. This new paradigm connects, within a single intelligent layer, the experiences of customers, employees, partners, and all digital processes coexisting within the company,\u201d Giusti analyzes.<\/p><p>Among the key findings of the survey:<\/p><p>\u2022 6 out of 16 brands maintained national leadership in the customer experience excellence ranking.<br>\u2022 50% of the brands belong to the retail sector, reinforcing the sector\u2019s dynamism.<br>\u2022 60% of leaders improved their customer experience excellence indices year over year, with an average increase of 3.1%.<\/p><p>\u201cThe data reinforce that brands treating customer experience as a strategic pillar achieve superior results. Seeing that half of the leading brands come from retail \u2014 and that most of them have advanced their indices \u2014 demonstrates that sustained excellence generates real impact. Competitiveness from now on will be defined by the ability to evolve continuously,\u201d emphasizes Fernando Gamb\u00f4a, KPMG\u2019s Head of Consumer and Retail in Brazil and South America.<\/p><p><em>*This text does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the CCBC and is the sole responsibility of the author who signed this content..<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By KPMG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":75735,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"1080","footnotes":""},"categories":[118],"tags":[555,215,125,229,1965,584,1627,2194,209,2195],"class_list":["post-75785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artigos-ccbc-en","tag-brazil-canada","tag-business","tag-canada-en","tag-ccbc-en","tag-ccbc-50-anos-en","tag-comex-en","tag-educacao-2-en","tag-ia-en","tag-innovation","tag-tecnoogia-en"],"cp_meta_data":{"_encloseme":["1"],"_wpml_word_count":["{\"total\":508,\"to_translate\":{\"fr\":508,\"pt-br\":508}}"],"_wp_old_date":["2025-04-26"],"_et_pb_use_builder":["off"],"_et_pb_old_content":[""],"_et_gb_content_width":["1080"],"footnotes":[""],"_et_monarch_override":[""],"sb_djhf_disable":["0"],"_et_post_bg_color":["#ffffff"],"_et_post_bg_layout":["light"],"_et_pb_show_title":["on"],"_et_pb_post_hide_nav":["default"],"_et_pb_page_layout":["et_no_sidebar"],"_et_pb_side_nav":["off"],"_wpml_media_duplicate":["1"],"_wpml_media_featured":["1"],"_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":["53"],"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":["Reforma Tribut\u00e1ria"],"_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":["Evento do Chapter MG reuniu empresas de minera\u00e7\u00e3o e do agroneg\u00f3cio para avaliar impactos nos neg\u00f3cios com o novo sistema em discuss\u00e3o no Congresso"],"_yoast_wpseo_linkdex":["56"],"_yoast_wpseo_content_score":["30"],"_yoast_wpseo_estimated-reading-time-minutes":["5"],"_et_builder_dynamic_assets_loading_attr_threshold":["2"],"_wpml_location_migration_done":["1"],"_thumbnail_id":["75735"],"_edit_lock":["1771955504:55"],"_edit_last":["55"]},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ccbc.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75785"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ccbc.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ccbc.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ccbc.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ccbc.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75785"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ccbc.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75785\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":75786,"href":"https:\/\/www.ccbc.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75785\/revisions\/75786"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ccbc.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75735"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ccbc.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ccbc.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ccbc.org.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
