Unless you have been living in a cave, it will not have escaped your attention that a number of organisations around the world have been introducing a new job title. In fact, they have been doing so for quite some time. Even if your company does not yet have a 'Chief Customer Officer' or 'CCO' [...]
It fills me with no joy to have to write a post about companies that have delivered unacceptable Customer Experiences. It fills me with even less joy to have to do so about an organisation that I have previously admired. Regular readers of my blog know by now that I write about the good, the [...]
Anyone who is lucky enough to have a family with three or more children will be able to empathise with the age old problem of booking hotel accommodation. As the average family size in the UK has continued to rise (1 in 7 families with children in the UK have three or more children), the [...]

During that time I have had the pleasure (most of the time) of attending these events at locations all over the world - from St Louis to Singapore - from Munich to Manchester.
