2. NORTON GENIE AI - Scam Spotting Just Got an Upgrade

   What’s the deal? Norton just launched Genie, an AI-powered scam detector that helps you avoid phishing, sketchy links, and too-good-to-be-true offers. Just upload a screenshot or paste a link, and Genie calls out the scam before it can ruin your day.

   Why CX pros should care

   Because when customers get scammed in your brand’s name, guess who they blame? Yep—you. Fake emails, bogus texts, and scammy websites destroy trust, flood support lines, and make your real communications look shady.

   

   What makes Genie worth paying attention to?

   • It’s like a BS detector for scams – Genie scans messages and links in real-time, so customers can know what’s fake before they fall for it.

   • No subscription, no excuses – It’s free to use, meaning customers actually might use it.

   • AI that learns on the job – The more it scans, the smarter it gets. Scammers evolve, but so does Genie.

   The CX connection:

   • Fewer "Is this real?" emails – If customers can check for scams themselves, that’s less work for your support team.

   • Brand trust booster – Scammers make you look bad. Helping customers avoid them makes you look good.

   • Safer customers = happier customers – No one likes feeling duped. Protecting people from scams strengthens loyalty.

   Bottom line:

   Scams aren’t just an IT problem. They’re a CX nightmare. Norton Genie is a step toward protecting your brand and your customers before fraudsters can do damage.

9. Join Us: Free Webinar on Strategy Implementation Success by Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez

   I’m sure you’ve heard the often-cited statistic that 70% of strategies fail to deliver their intended results.

   What’s more concerning is that with the rise of AI and accelerated transformation, early indications suggest that failure rates may actually be increasing, as organisations struggle to adapt their execution capabilities to this new reality.

   But what if you could bridge the gap between strategy and execution—and ensure your initiatives deliver real, measurable impact?

   Join me on 28th March at 11:00am GMT for a free APMG International Partner Spotlight webinar, where I’ll explore how to close the strategy-execution gap and introduce the Strategy Implementation Professional (SIP) certification.

   In this session, you’ll discover:
   

   What strategy implementation really means and why it’s crucial for success in today’s fast-changing world
   

   How the SIP certification provides practical frameworks and tools for leaders and teams
   

   The common pitfalls that cause strategic initiatives to fail—and how to avoid them

   Interactive Q&A: We’ll wrap up with a live 15-20 minute Q&A session—bring your questions!
