Delivering Service Through the Lifecycle

The text discusses the importance of establishing trust in customer relationships and how it can lead to authentic interactions and effective communication. It highlights two key inspirations - the Agile Manifesto's emphasis on individuals and interactions over processes and tools, and Geoffrey Moore's concept of defining a whole product for market success. The author then shares their experience launching a people-first Customer Journey at Aerospike, which includes Onboarding, Adoption, and Growth phases designed to foster trust and collaboration between customers and the company's teams. By focusing on people first, the approach has led to more meaningful interactions and eliminated requests for honest conversations.
