The more we automate business processes, the more we lose sight of our customers. It’s a reality in SaaS and practically every industry in the world. Though technology has undoubtedly made our jobs easier and improved the overall customer experience , it’s also distanced us from the people we serve. This is especially true for product teams, who are increasingly separated from the end users they’re building for.

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.

Time flies… I realized the other day that Outside In was published nearly 6 years ago. And while a lot has changed in the world and in the sphere of customer experience during that time, I firmly believe that the analysis and advice in the book are just as relevant in 2018 as they were in 2012. Part of the reason for that is that the book talks primarily about how organizations work and how they need to change—and, unlike technology, organizations don’t change all that quickly.
