PIPING UP
"The only way to engage with
customers is coming up with
propositions that are more
compelling than what they've
already seen... organisations will
have to constantly strive to reach
a little bit further, reach a little
bit higher, do something a bit
diff erent, a bit better than they
did last time. How fantastic is that
going to be for the sector?"
Piers Clark, Thames Water
