Join 📚 Felicity's Weekly Book Highlights

A batch of the best highlights from what Felicity's read, .

Most businesses ask “how did the business do last week?” instead of “what did the customer experience last week?” If you ask the first question, you will have an implicit orientation towards internal, business-first metrics. Perhaps you might watch inventory turns, or track changes in free cash flow, or measure the performance of your warehouses. To be clear, these are all important metrics to track. But notice that if you ask “what did the customer experience last week?” you’ll measure slightly different things. And so it’s important to ask *both* questions, and to ask the ‘customer’ question *first* — it’s not for nothing that Amazon aims to be ‘Earth’s most customer-centric company.’
