LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) December 13, 2021 - The UK faced its worst recession over the last three centuries, with their highest quarterly GDP contraction of approximately 20% in Q2 2020. Its economy shrunk twice as much as any other G7 nation. However, despite the deep recession, a combination of government investments and enterprise commitment toward digital adoption has pushed the economy farther along the recovery curve. Digitally mature businesses are addressing rapidly evolving customer behavior by creating personalized experiences using artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced analytics and enhancing customer engagement by deploying virtual agents/chatbots to assist customers and resolve queries. Alternate business and operating models are gaining traction in the region. Global service providers are increasing market penetration through acquisitions and hiring.
