Customer advisory boards

Customer advisory boards your customers want to come back to.

I design, prepare, facilitate and visualize customer advisory boards. Your customers talk, you listen, and both sides leave with shared priorities.

When customer sessions turn into presentations

Your team presents for most of the day, and the customers listen politely.

The feedback you get is friendly, general and hard to act on.

The same few voices speak, the rest stay quiet.

After the event, nobody knows what to do with what was said.

Your customers see things your team cannot. The session gives them the time to say it, and you the time to listen.

How I design a customer advisory board

Step 1

Prepare

We agree on the questions that matter to your strategy. I design and prepare the session around them.

Step 2

Facilitate

The session is a dialogue, not a presentation. I facilitate it so customers compare views and tell you what they need from you.

Step 3

Follow through

Together we make the shared priorities clear, and what they mean for your next steps.
