Barbara Boden, Managing Partner and co-founder, and Ann McNally from boutique advisory firm 4xi Global Consulting, share their insights on the importance of data and benchmarking on this episode of Customer Service Academy hosted by Tony Johnson.
In this episode, we welcome Barbara and Ann into the studio to talk about data, insights, vendor relationships, and moving from insights to action. They have also created a new tool called CRITERION Benchmarking - a membership driven platform to find information on questions leaders have about their business and specific topics.
Barbara and Ann share their thoughts on how:
The best organizations use data to make decisions and prioritize resources.
Working with contract partners to connect cultures in a meaningful way.
Don't let data rot in a desk drawer, you must take action on what you learn to improve your business.
Just getting the data isn't enough - share the information widely to harness the brainpower of your organization.
In times of uncertainty, data keeps the focus where it matters the most.
