I got involved in the initiative to establish a professional association for the CX industry because of a personal discomfort with some to the approaches to the discipline that I see from some big brands. Here’s an example…. Companies that equate CX to technology are not being accurate. The vast majority (81%) of organisations also […]

Love, in the time of covid-19
I just really believe that the world needs some love right now. Enjoy the song. Let’s send love to our fellow humans. /ep
No Customer Centric approach in service delivery
I drive on a section of the N14 freeway where the road is being widened. While we appreciate this as citizens, I really have a big issue with the approach. In addition, the closure of the M2 for the foreseeable future has added more thoughts and frustration to the situation. With so many economically active […]
Is it the lower ‘customer cost’ over digital service channels that shows lack of good customer experience by brands?
As a Customer Experience professional, I am extremely sensitive to Customer Service failings. Had a few in the last weeks and decided to write about them. Working in the Customer Experience industry, I see the desire to push toward Digital service – either as email, or via Social Media. From a Customer perspective, these channels […]
Three headlines on News24 that leave me baffled

Slavery, freedom and deliverance
I find it beautiful when I get a chance to reflect, to turn the eyes inward and to introspect. It is said that we are most like God when we forgive. I also feel that we are most equal in vibration with the elements when we are in the place of consideration of what binds […]
Poor drivers and hoboes pushing trolleys on the roads should be shot
I am impatient. I pay my taxes, I usually try to keep to the rules of the road – which includes stopping at stop signs, keeping within the speed limit, and observing the rules at traffic lights. Okay, I make mistakes, but enough about me! Once again, I lament and lambast the lack of respect […]
It’s time to prune the roses
Taking life lessons from the aftermath of pruning I was recently asked by someone to think about and write my thoughts about pruning the roses. Writing, I, believe, is good for the soul and allows you to clear your mind. Glen’s brief, or instructions were quite clear…. Write down 3 points, and 3 sub-points after […]
