Product Description
A groundbreaking how-to resource that addresses the gap between having your customers' voices, and being able to translate their voices into tangible results. Readers will learn how to engage in a process of getting to know their customers and learning their point of view so they can responsibly take action based on their customers' preferences, align the organization around the new insight they have acquired, gain buy-in for the resulting initiatives, and make the outcome of the initiative more successful. Voices into Choices captures the right balance between being a step-by-step method and offering the theoretical framework to understanding and using customer voices.

Publisher Description
Voices into Choices was written and published through a collaboration between Joiner Associates Incorporated and the Center for Quality of Management (CQM). The book is an outgrowth of CQM working with its member organizations to help them become more customer focused in their decision making process. Throughout the development of Voices into Choices, we worked with these members to refine the process, by having them use and test our writing with their actual projects. We also involved numerous customers from both organizations in a review process.

Reader Reviews
This book captures a process we relied on heavily at McKinsey and Co. It is a step by step guide to helping project teams understand, interpret and act upon the customers' needs. This book is helpful to anyone running a project - whether it is an internal or external project. As the president of a large business, I am ready to buy this book for my entire staff. I would be thrilled if my employees ran projects in this manner and streamlined their communication with me. One of the most useful books I have read in the last five years and hopefully one that my staff will quickly adopt as their process they use to manage.
