In this issue we have an interview with Andy Wallhead, who took over as Chief Executive of the social landlord WDH shortly before the pandemic. We really enjoyed talking to Andy, who is one of the few people we’ve met in a leadership role who really gets the idea that, to quote Seth Godin, “there’s no such thing as an unreasonable customer”.

We’re still on the lookout for solid guidance about what 2022 is going to look like from a customer experience point of view, and Tue Søttrup of Dixa outlines 5 customer service trends for the year. We also hear from Jeff Kennelly from Vendigital, who summarises some of their research that stresses the importance of building relationships with customers (something which is never going to go out of fashion).

Also in this issue, we've got articles about the leap towards digital and self-service approaches, behavioural science, a review of a fascinating new book about ownership, the difference between research findings and insight and much more.
