What about putting customers in the driving seat. There is not much evidence to suggest this is happening 😩😩😩

Value troopers to save us. That is, a clear focus on tracking value (for the customer) realised through the use of your technology 🎯🎯🎯

Tracking value is the start but it's not enough. And whether it is done by human and/or machine (product), the crucial thing is it must be in the customers hands 🤗🤗🤗

Imagine a metrics dashboard in your customers control, that allows them to see at any time, what value they are getting from your technology 💥💥💥

Not just usage metrics, business value metrics the customer cares about, that are being driven by your product. This may seem counter constructive but its coming. Competition is driving it. Usage based pricing trends are an indicator 🪧🪧🪧
