I constantly face a challenge in that I spend so much time researching and writing that I barely have time to promote my research and writing. I often think, “what’s the point of doing all of this work if no one will see it!?” In a rare moment however, I was able to spend time with Onalytica to take about my areas of study, how I got here and who/what influences me. I hope it helps you… HOW DID YOU…

I recently spent some time with Qlutch CEO Jim Sagar to explore…
Sharing a Personal Story – A Rare Glimpse into What Inspires Me and How I Got Here

There are rare occasions however when I do open up to share stories that…

MyCustomer: Brian Solis On How To Identify Your Moments Of Truth
“When we look at the customer journey, at present, we do so in a very linear way, and we distribute responsibility for that customer journey to different groups in charge of managing different aspects,” says Solis. “We give them budget, we give them personnel and we give them different metrics to try and optimise each component.

We can ascertain how customers are making decisions, and we’re able to establish how to improve each of these moments of truth, and more importantly, how to connect the dots between them.”
