- Process; hopefully unbiased
- Not just ‘complaint channel’ or comments to sales force

Main benefits: 3 examples then list1. Fabricating company:
Voice of Customer (VOC) effort- Dedicated more space at their location for off-site design/build
Inserted elements of customer site. Started with hospital- Had customer visit and react to iterations
Results- Improved designs (vs. higher costs of design then change)- Less down-time on site; final install was much faster- Customers gained knowledge of capabilities, “I didn’t know
that was possible,” or “I didn’t know you could do that.”- Better relationships with customers; referrals

3. External recognition (e.g., Baldrige or industry based)

Logistics
Gutter guards: What parts of this experience irritate me, and can we design the VOC effort to make these parts better?
KISS: Simplicity is good, but don’t mistake simplicity for over-simplifying. Analogy to annual physical (I’ll just check your pulse).

Logistics
Priorities: - What problem are we trying to
solve, and why?- To make-a-decision/act, what do
we want to know?
Reporting: How will people find it most useful to review results; now and in the future? Ask early about these.- Word document vs PPT (level of details)- Descriptive results versus recommendations- Information: tables versus graphics- Data files (raw and/or tabled)

Logistics
Specialist pros/cons: - Industry expertise - Research methods expertise- Problem-focus expertise- Management/implementation expertise(Pick desired elements; finding all together is rare.)
Timelines: what causes delays- Level of involvement desired by varied constituents- Other priorities surface- Data acquisition (scheduling for focus groups, etc.)

of 28
Logistics
Phases with optional parts: - Sometimes it’s good to say, “we learned enough; let’s stop here”- Specify deliverables/phase
Our responsibilities: examples:- Point of contact- Meeting coordination- Provide input- Interviewees (contacts and secured permissions)

Recommendation for Customer Focused Companies:
Periodically gather unbiased information to assess:- What customers think of you and your industry (desires,
experiences and expectations).- How you can improve experiences so customers are more
likely to stay with you and recommend you to others.
Where, when and how:- Where: multiple touchpoints- When:
- Coinciding with key experiences- Sometimes planned/periodic (e.g., quarterly or other)
- How: Can be conversations or formal surveying. Some technical expertise can be helpful, but none of this is voodoo-magic.
