Captain Insight, like Manual Man, has an understanding of the value that data holds. However, unlike Manual Man, she has the powers to extract value from large amounts of data.

The Day Of Manual Man: The Struggles of CX Management
At SentiSum we are very familiar with all the manual men (and women) of the CX world. They are the ones we aim to help as they have the ambition and drive to provide a good customer experience however the reality of the world is the change they face.

Manual Man cares about CX and knows that data is valuable yet they lack the tools to help them overcome the challenges facing a CX leader. Want to find out if you are a manual man? Using our experience with past clients who once identified as manual man we have constructed a typical day of this CX hero. Does his day sound familiar to you? Can you relate to his problems?

What is worse than a Delayed Plane #FlyMaybe
At first I thought that nothing could be worse than a delayed plane for travel companies. However, after exploring the PR disaster Flybe experienced on Twitter this week, I realised responding to consumers in real time is more important than ever. When a plane is delayed there is not much consumers can do but when they feel ignored, they can just shout louder.
