Total Value in Action: Navigating Implementation and Cultivating the Agentic B2B Future
This episode explores how B2B organizations are moving beyond transactional customer experience to organizing around Total Experience and Total Value. The conversation examines how agentic AI enables organizations to shift from task automation to outcome delegation—connecting sales, marketing, service, and operations into coordinated value streams across the customer lifecycle. Key themes include breaking down functional silos, reducing tool sprawl, and using shared metrics—such as customer lifetime value and outcome realization—to redesign operating models around journeys rather than functions. The discussion also highlights how human roles are evolving alongside AI, emphasizing trust, empathy, and strategic partnership, and offers practical steps for leaders to begin building a culture of orchestration that delivers measurable outcomes for both customers and the business. Our speakers this week: Carmen Bekker, ASPAC Customer Lead and Partner, KPMG in Australia Tomas Potmesil, EMEA Customer Lead, KPMG Czech Republic Nikhil Sethi – Customer Lead, KPMG in India
