"Customers are a firm's most valuable asset. Therefore, it makes economic sense to nurture, protect and develop that asset. The book <i>Think Human</i> extends that view by focusing on the experiences customers have in their interactions with firms. Olivier Duha makes a convincing case that firms need to embrace technology to enhance the human side of the customer experience. After all, customers are human beings and have to be treated accordingly."

Dr Heiner Evanschitzky, Professor of Marketing, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester

"Behavioural science has consistently demonstrated that experiences are the most critical factors shaping human behaviour. In this hugely insightful and useful book, Olivier Duha uses his extensive research, knowledge and experience in the field to guide readers on what creates game-changing customer experiences. By recognizing that customer relationships are fundamentally human relationships, he provides invaluable advice and frameworks for creating great human experiences for the people who buy from your business - without whom you have no business."
