Measuring without purpose is worse than a waste of time and money, while KPIs with use cases can initiate a virtuous cycle by creating accountability and signalling the required action. In this article, we list the Benchmark’s 28 CX KPI use cases along with their goals and owners.

It concludes by inviting you to contribute to a public consultation on Accomplish’s Agentic AI Risk Control Framework that addresses these through end-to-end risk management. The consultation will commence in September.
