CollabTalk Podcast | Episode 160 on Stakeholder Engagement and Scalable Feedback
For Episode 160 of the CollabTalk Podcast, I explore why most companies fail at feedback by lacking clear processes, failing to act on input, and overcomplicating collection methods, while also highlighting best practices for building scalable, repeatable mechanisms that create lasting impact. Effective feedback loops are the foundation of strong stakeholder engagement, helping organizations proactively solve problems, drive innovation, and foster trust among employees, customers, and partners. By making feedback an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time event, businesses can enhance decision-making, improve performance, and stay ahead of the competition. You can listen to the podcast above and follow me using your favorite app, such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Soundcloud, or the iHeartRadio app. Be sure to subscribe!
