22. 1. Understand what the customer want
(what she really, really wants)
1. Ask her
2. Dig into the gold mine of support tickets :
• What are the problems ?
• Causes of quality issues ?
• What is there to learn ?

24. 2. Align Teams
Use KPIs that make sense for the customer
(Quality / Time management / Costs / Customer Satisfaction)

25. 3. Learn to see the waste
What in our work deliver value to
the customer ?
What prevents us from doing so
?
What are the impediments I can
remove for my team ?
