Product and program leadership

Making customer insights actionable at enterprise scale

I owned the product roadmap for IdeaExchange and Voice of the Customer, along with the programs that brought those insights into product teams and closed the loop with customers.

How the work connected

Customer insight systemsSalesforce
  1. Capture customer ideas in IdeaExchange and sales-led insights in Voice of the Customer

  2. Bring roadmaps, webinars and future direction to customers for comment

  3. Connect the evidence to product teams' prioritization and delivery work

  4. Return scheduled responses and delivery updates to the people who contributed

The product decision behind this workflow

I wanted the relationship to become more proactive. Better data capture helped teams understand the request; webinars, future-focused articles and roadmap discussions gave customers opportunities to respond earlier. Scheduled responses and a delivery feedback loop made listening an ongoing product practice, not just an intake form.

01 / Context

The operating problem

At enterprise scale, feedback can become abundant without becoming useful. Customers need visibility and response. Product teams need a way to connect signal quality to investment choices and close the loop without creating promises the organization cannot keep.
