@DStv has the worst customer interface and functionality of any online streaming service ever, by a million miles.

[Jonathan Wilson @LeadBigChange]

Very disappointed in the acquisition of @Postbox by @emclient. emClient is bloated and clunky, with a horrible UI that reminds me of the early days of web mail. Postbox had occasional crash issues, but is so functionally well built and with a clean and elegant UI.

I've used @SparkMailApp for Mac OS and iOS off and on over the years. Thought I'd try again - my favourite desktop mail app is folding. Just downloaded latest Mac OS version. Deleted it after 5 minutes. Can't switch off avatars. Can't thread emails in sensible order.

Glad to contribute to the Big Change podcast series by Jonathan Wilson for @ziwani

Any conversation with @ahc is likely to be rich with insight and story, and this Big Change episode is proof of that.

We discuss the fact that, in an exploitative environment, simply being ethical isn't enough to achieve sustainable change.

Fantastic to see the UK government paying a visit to the superbly run factory run by one of our portfolio companies, @EthicalApAfrica.

Fear is that dark prison that lacks the light of information. Fear fuels speculation. Speculation is not information. Find the facts.

@Wise interacting with your customer service team has been one of the most offensive and exasperating experiences I’ve had interacting with a company providing a service to me, in years

Watch our great new explainer video about the work we do to drive ecosystem change through SMEs in Africa.

@RoryStewartUK on a recent
The Rest is Politics podcast you gave some statistics about Nigeria including “1 in 10 children in the world will be born there by …” It was hard to hear from the audio if you said 2015 or 2050.

@on_running placed an order on the Canadian site on Dec 16. No confirmation email but credit card shows payment. Followed up via website, no reply. This isn't good service, I need to know what's going on.

@RogersHelps this has used 1.5 hours of my time.

[Jonathan Wilson @LeadBigChange]

@Rogers for years now I have been able to call 611 and get a real person in a couple of minutes. Today I'm told I have a 1-2 hour wait???

[Jonathan Wilson @LeadBigChange]

@Rogers @RogersHelps I have now called 4 times, plus attempted chat once. I've been dropped, transferred without success, put back in the queue instead of on hold with the rep, given a number to call for customer care only it wasn't care it was tech support. Problem still unresolved!

One of the best summaries of the qualities of good #leadership that I’ve heard in a long time. https://t.co/SmshrClDEp

Be generative with capital, by all means, but not foolish. https://t.co/8KUgGFQ3d0

Remember, present circumstances are not reality in its entirety, but a fragment of it, nor reality in perpetuity, just one moment of it.
