Success in business is, to a large extent, about optimizing the exchange of value with customers. The more value you can deliver to your customers, the more value you can get from them in the form of sales, higher margins, loyalty, references, and actionable feedback. Information plays a strategic role in this value exchange. When people in your organization understand your customers, their business challenges, your products and services, and how those products and services can best be applied to your customers’ challenges, they can deliver more value to the customer. Information delivers this understanding and insight to improve employee responsiveness to customers.
