Do you have one customer type or many different with different requirements, different customer  segments? If so how do you service them and does it provide value?

Why is this relevant to Lean Six Sigma, well Voice of the Customer is one of the key components of Lean.

On that point why are so few Lean programs run by marketing teams and what experience does your lean consultant have in delivering marketing insights?

Oh and if you get to then end of the video... Are you one of the 42%?  

If his name is familiar  he is the author of the books Tipping Point, Outliers, 10,000 Hours amongst others.
