What we find is there are a lot of buzz words Big Data, Net Promoter Score, Chief Customer Officer or Voice of Customer. A lot of those are used as simplistic code words when in fact the entire process is much, much more complicated than that. For instance, in most organizations Voice of Customer is viewed as being surveys and maybe look at some complaints. We think that’s a simplistic approach. Both of those are looking in a rear view mirror. They’re lagging indicators. We find in most organizations that Big Data is a big opportunity. In most cases, organizations have all kinds of data saying what they are about to do to the customer….says podcast guest John Goodman

John was so gracious with his time and I was so intrigued with what he was saying that I had to make this a 2-part podcast. This podcast is worth paying for, part 1 of 2.
