In this first of a series of two podcasts, Mauricio Duarte, CEO of Opinat, interviews Richard Owen, CEO of OCX Cognition, about the evolution of customer experience (CX) and the future of AI as a way of improving customer retention and growth. Richard shares his own CX journey, starting at Dell Computer, where he recognized customer experience as a key differentiator. He later joined Satmetrix as CEO, where he and his team were top contributors to worldwide adoption of the Net Promoter Score (NPS) methodology, helping companies shift from product-centric to more customer-centric business models.
Richard emphasizes the importance of leadership commitment to NPS, treating it as a core business metric rather than just a survey tool. He highlights the need for robust diagnostics to understand the "why" behind NPS scores and integrate them into business processes for actionable insights. The discussion also covers the challenges of linking CX metrics to financial outcomes, stressing the importance of data quality and clear economic connections.
Looking ahead, Richard discusses the transformative potential of AI in CX, enabling real-time customer behavior predictions and hyper-personalization. He also reflects on lessons from the pandemic, noting the accelerated digital transformation and the increased value placed on customer experiences. Finally, Richard shares insights on B2B CX, the importance of Promoters, and OCX Cognition’s focus on predictive and prescriptive analytics to drive better customer outcomes.
This conversation offers valuable insights for CX leaders who want to get in front of their competitors in the quickly-evolving world of customer experience, retention, and growth.

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.
