Even though you in your profession and role do not feel close to the end customer, you are one part of the puzzle of creating value that in the end will affect the customer. Therefore democratising those insights means creating a systematic way of making sure that employees are knowledgeable about the customer. And just as vital for the development of the organisation and its products or services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few other pitfalls may be:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Collecting feedback with no purpose: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A famous quote is \u201cWhat gets measured gets done\u201d and then someone else said \u201cNot everything that we can measure matters\u201d.
