Cisco has no direct relationship with its customers. Partners sell independently and have limited customer insight. Customers just want their I.T. to work ... With a fragmented, and siloed approach towards a customer experience, Cisco had no control over its products or brand experience, and no insights into what products their customers are using … But what if everyone worked together?
We conducted multiple interviews with Cisco, Partners and Customers to understand what their frustrations and high points are. Building upon these understandings we designed and lead a 4-Day workshop to bring each segment together, and to collaboratively reimagine how business could be done together, and benefited everyone … especially the customer.
