Call centres are no longer the ugly duckling in your company. How do contact centres create value to company and client? Has social media killed our contact centres? How do we throw off the negative aura surrounding contact centres?

Contact Center Management is an investigation into the stereotypes surrounding the sector. As it steers clear of hollowed-out theory and vague slogans, it offers a grounded approach to the creation of value for your company as well as for any client.
