      Total Experience: Redefining excellence in the age of agentic AI

      Customer expectations are accelerating faster than companies can adapt. They now demand seamless, anticipatory, and personalized interactions across every channel and every moment of engagement.

      This year’s Global Customer Experience Excellence (CEE) research highlights how leading organizations are responding. Drawing on a global sample of over 80,000 consumers, the findings show that organizations are moving beyond reactive service to orchestrate proactive, predictive experience powered by agentic AI.

      At the core of this shift is Total Experience, aligning customer, employee, partner, and ecosystem interaction around outcomes that build loyalty, advocacy, and growth.


      Key insights from this year’s report

      Customer experience is undergoing a profound transformation

      Agentic AI is rapidly emerging in Tunisia by 2026, marking a transition from generative AI (which produces content) to AI capable of planning, making decisions, and acting autonomously to achieve set objectives. This field is considered a strategic priority for digital transformation in the region.

      It is moving from experimentation to execution, influencing how customer decisions are made and how employees deliver outcomes in real time.

      Total Experience is the new standard

      The pursuit of excellence in customer experience in North Africa by 2026 involves rapid digital transformation, AI adoption, and the humanization of interactions.

      Leading organizations are unifying customer, employee, partner, and ecosystem interactions to create an adaptive engagement model. This shift is driven by high digital adoption, increasing service expectations, and government investment in digital infrastructure, particularly in sectors like financial services, aviation, hospitality, retail, energy, and government, where the Total Experience framework integrates AI, data, and operations for seamless journeys across touchpoints.

      Excellence drives growth and resilience

      The world’s CX leaders show that Total Experience is not a project or a short-lived initiative, but an organizational mindset. It is the connective tissue that links strategy, culture, and execution, the thread that runs from product design to frontline service, from data governance to employee empowerment.

      In short, organizations investing in trust, personalization, and integration are outperforming peers, while laggards risk widening the gap.
