If youre striving to make products and services that your customers will love, then youll need a customer-driven organization. As companies transform their businesses to meet the demands of the digital age, they find themselves grappling with uniquely human challenges. Organizational knowledge becomes siloed, employees move to safeguard their expertise, and customer data creates polarization and infighting between teams. All of these challenges widen the distance between the people who make your products and the customers who use them.

To meet todays challenges, companies need to do more than build processes for customer-driven products. They need to create a customer-driven culture.
