Call Centre Roundtable • August 2025

AI, IVR and the Future of Contact Centre Efficiency

AI is no longer a future threat to contact centre jobs — it is actively reshaping them right now.

In this August 2025 roundtable, Justin Tippett leads Brandon Davis, Nadine Power, and Anthony Marafioti through three of the most pressing questions facing contact centre leaders: whether AI is eliminating roles or evolving them, whether traditional push-button IVR still belongs in the modern customer journey, and what practical efficiency improvements leaders can act on today.

Host: Justin Tippett
Panel: Brandon Davis, Nadine Power, Anthony Marafioti
Duration: 57:01
