In this episode of CX and Culture Connection, host Matt Egol, CCXP, welcomes Bruce Temkin, a pioneer in experience management and founder of Humanity at Scale, to explore the profound ways AI is shaping the future of organizations. Bruce emphasizes that the potential outcomes of AI are vast and varied, from enhancing customer and employee experiences to transforming organizational culture and community engagement.
Bruce shares his motivation behind launching Humanity at Scale, driven by a desire to move beyond the traditional focus of experience management—highlighting that true impact comes when leaders see experience as a holistic, interconnected system that influences everything from internal culture to broader societal relationships. He discusses how AI, especially generative AI, offers a unique opportunity to reimagine how organizations understand and serve people, fostering a more human-centric approach at scale.
The conversation dives into how organizations can leverage AI not just for efficiency or cost-saving, but as a tool to deepen human connections, improve decision-making, and build more resilient, compassionate communities. Bruce advocates for a shift in industry language—from debating whether to focus on humans or results—to embracing experience as the pathway to sustainable success.
Tune in to discover how AI can be a force for good, how leaders can cultivate empathy and impact, and why the next wave of experience management is about integrating human values with technological innovation. Listen to the full episode here: https://youtu.be/t83y-t4ykxI

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
