Kyle Nel proposes rethinking Lowe's tracker surveys based on research showing that customers do not always provide truthful or fully informed answers to direct questions. The current approach assumes customer responses directly reflect reality, but people are influenced by factors outside their awareness. Nel advocates moving away from a "Q&A culture" and instead focusing on questions that will actually change customer behavior. This involves philosophical and methodological shifts like co-creating fewer, better questions and using alternative research methods like observational studies that provide more transparent, timely results at a lower cost than traditional surveys.
