A lot of the books, articles and discourse around product design focuses on the process of design work (the things designers do) and the output of design work (the things designers deliver). We often spend less time thinking and talking about the impact of design work – that is, what does our work truly achieve and change beyond just the artefact that it delivers.

Customer Satisfaction is Declining in the UK! A new report by the Institute of Customer Service indicates that Customer Satisfaction is declining in the UK.

Onboarding is a holistic, ongoing process sitting at the intersection of many different teams: product, sales, marketing, customer engagement and business operations. A customer’s onboarding may start with them visiting your website and choosing to purchase your product or service. But it should also persist as they learn how to use your product and become a confident power user who discovers continued value in your product over time.

Because we have frequent thunderstorms and power outages in my Florida home, I recently decided to buy an uninterruptible power supply for my electronics. I’ve had good experiences with Apple products so I first checked to see if Apple made that sort of thing. They didn’t, so I set about comparing and contrasting the models that were available. I quickly got lost in technical specifications, so I decided that I would choose based on how long the power supply would last.

Some leaders mistake internal competitiveness for toxicity, opting instead to exclusively focus on collaboration. They avoid any internal ranking, out of fear that the workplace will become negative – or politically charged. This is the recipe for a mediocre sales team. Like a sports franchise, a top team should be both collaborative and competitive.

Do you know what drives me mad? When organizations talk about loyalty, what they mean is, “the customer gives me all of their business.”. Customers giving you all their business isn’t customer loyalty on its own. They could give it to you out of habit , or because you are a monopoly. It could also be a product of their apathy. Customer loyalty is more than automatic or indifferent behavior.
