We are working in an era of globalization. Businesses have an international workforce. That brings diversity in every aspect of the organization.

Discord began as a place where gamers could think out loud together. Plans were made in voice chats. Strategies shifted in real time. Teams reacted instantly, across rooms, cities, and countries.

In the Autumn of 2025 we brought together Zendesk customers, implementation partners and friends of Geckoboard for a focused discussion on how support teams are preparing for 2026.

For years, Know-Your-Customer (KYC) has been a critical business function that protects companies from fraud while shaping the earliest moments of the customer experience. Product managers must treat it as such. Today, the stakes are higher than ever: The right KYC platform providers are now a strategic growth lever. These providers streamline customer acquisition by reducing onboarding friction and accelerating verification, enabling businesses to onboard new customers faster and more efficiently.

Your business has grown from five people to 15, maybe even 30. Revenue’s up, clients are coming in, things should feel smoother. But you’re still relying on the same cobbled-together spreadsheets you used on day one. Sound familiar? Most service businesses don’t stall because of a lack of clients or talent.
