We're talking about how to gather information from customers to drive
innovation. Most companies have "voice of the customer" programs, but
few know how to extract quality information from those programs. It
takes asking the right questions, and removing ambiguity from the
answers. In the podcast, Tony states that it's wrong to assume that
users can't tell us what they want; instead, the problem is that
"companies don't know how to listen to customers."
