Unlock the Secrets of Customer-Centric Growth

I had the privilege of sitting down with John Sills, Managing Partner at The Foundation – The Customer-Led Growth Consultancy, and author of the acclaimed book The Human Experience: How to Make Life Better for Your Customers and Create a More Successful Organisation.

From exploring the ‘Doorman Fallacy’—a concept popularised by Rory Sutherland—where strategies become overly fixated on cost-saving and efficiency, to discussing why innovation doesn't stem from "Would you recommend this?" surveys, John’s insights are nothing short of transformative.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

• Empathy in Action: Discover how reconnecting leadership teams with the daily reality of customers fosters real change.

"Businesses thrive when they make life better for their customers. Simplicity, empathy, and genuine connection are what truly create lasting loyalty."
