Change is constant today, and keeping pace with fast-moving business demands takes deliberate effort — this often impedes our best intentions to think forward, work strategically or adopt new practices. But vendors today need to take it a step beyond just listening to their customers because there is a fine balance when gathering and prioritizing customer voice; we need to actually understand our customer’s business, challenges and demands.

We ask them all about business drivers, trends, market opportunities, use cases, demand, competition and measurable successes. I remember when every business unit or geographic location of a large organization bought and maintained their own LMS. If a business unit or region feels unloved by HR, they just get their own rogue LMS.
