"Peter and David have done a marvelous job showing that managing people has many parallels to managing customers. The Chief HR Officer (CHRO) and the Chief Marketing Office (CMO) have much to learn from each other. This work reinforces that HR is not about HR, but about delivering business impact. Their work offers many insightful ideas and useful tools for better managing people, a vital part of the HR agenda for future business success."
