SUMMARY:Is Your Community Ready for AI? A Practical Guide to Becoming LLM-Ready
DESCRIPTION:AI won’t quietly compensate for messy systems while you wait. Those outdated threads won’t get organized overnight\, vague answers won’t get clarified\, and chaotic tags won’t magically get fixed. Instead\, AI will expose those gaps when LLMs no longer surface or cite your content. So\, let’s get to work fixing it. \nOn March 17th\, Richard Millington and Jon Wishart will discuss real community examples so that you walk away with: \n\nA simple rubric to assess whether your community is AI-ready\nClear criteria for what “good” looks like in threads\, tagging\, and knowledge structure\nA stronger definition of your role\, from volume driver to knowledge architect\nThe confidence to explain your AI-readiness strategy to leadership

SUMMARY:The New Rules of CS: Treating Onboarding as a Revenue Predictor
DESCRIPTION:The biggest revenue indicators often show up in the first 30 days\, but many CS teams aren’t looking for them (or don’t know where to look). Even more problematic\, most onboarding still looks like a handoff\, a checklist\, and a race to hit time-to-value rather than a strategic moment to build momentum and set the tone for long-term success. \nIn this webinar\, Taylor Johnston\, Sr. Director\, Advisory Services at Gainsight\, will reveal how onboarding is quietly becoming one of the most powerful forecasting levers in Customer Success. You’ll learn why traditional metrics like “time to value” miss the mark\, how leading teams are looking at those first 30 days\, and what scalable onboarding really looks like in 2026\, so you can grow with confidence. \nWhat we’ll unpack: \n\nWhat leading teams track in the first 30 days to predict expansion or churn\nWhy time-to-value isn’t the only (or best) metric to measure onboarding success\nHow to scale onboarding with onboarding plays\, signals\, workflows\, and dashboards

SUMMARY:The State of Customer Growth & Renewal 2026
DESCRIPTION:The customer growth and renewal (CGR) industry is facing an existential pivot driven by AI economics\, marking the end of the “growth at all costs” era and the beginning of a focus on profitable growth and trust. \nOverview\n\n\nSummary\n\nIn this webinar\, TSIA explains the “Agentic Pivot” reshaping Customer Growth & Renewal in 2026 as AI Economics shifts the focus to profitable growth and trust. You’ll learn how to move from adoption-led motions to outcome telemetry and agentic AI—while overcoming pricing paralysis\, fragmented data\, and revenue volatility. The session outlines the key shifts to win: adopting the DARE framework\, building human-on-the-loop architectures\, and unifying revenue operations around NRR and expansion.\n\nChallenges\n\nMany organizations are stuck in pricing model paralysis. They resist disrupting per-user pricing\, even as AI reduces the headcount those models depend on—creating a “Success Paradox”—where proving value can mean a customer pays less. At the same time\, fragmented\, low-quality data prevents AI from delivering reliable impact\, and the move to consumption-based pricing adds revenue volatility that makes forecasting and budgeting far more complex. \n\nKey takeaways\n\n\n\n\n\nTransition to the DARE Framework\nOrganizations must move beyond linear adoption to a four-step cycle of outcome engineering and continuous value proof to drive net revenue retention (NRR). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImplementation of Agentic AI\nSuccess in 2026 requires mastering ‘human-on-the-loop’ architectures\, where autonomous agents handle end-to-end tasks like routine renewals and risk detection. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnified Revenue Operations\nTo eliminate functional silos\, compensation for customer success and renewal teams must be tethered directly to NRR and expansion revenue\, aligning post-sale charters with a growth mandate.
