A veteran of over 40 years in hospitality leadership, I was, until several years ago, a customer service/customer experience speaker. Unfortunately, I suffered a stroke in April 2021.

Brands used to look for a vendor who could do everything. Over time, one vendor was no longer enough to meet a brand’s needs, and they added, added and added. Now they need all their vendors to work well together. That’s composable, and only some will make the cut. As customers — and your board — expect you to be in new channels and to rapidly adapt to shifts in the market, the need for true composability is more crucial than ever before.
