IntermediateSITUATIONAL
You are given a new cross‑functional initiative with an ambiguous goal such as “improve customer experience this quarter.” You have limited authority but must coordinate with marketing, support, and product. How would you clarify the objective, define measurable outcomes, and structure the first four weeks of work?
Custom Role
General

Sample Answer

Situation: At a previous company, I was asked to “improve customer experience this quarter” across marketing, support, and product with no direct authority. Task: Clarify the goal, align stakeholders, and deliver measurable CX improvements in 90 days. Action: In week 1, I ran a 90‑minute alignment workshop using a simple OKR template in Miro and Jira Discovery, turning the vague goal into: “Increase NPS from 34 to 42 and reduce first‑response time by 20%.” Week 2, we mapped the top 3 customer journeys in Miro from Zendesk, HubSpot, and Mixpanel data. Week 3–4, we defined 5 Jira epics (onboarding email revamp, help‑center search, in‑app guidance, SLA tuning, CSAT survey) and set weekly dashboards in Looker. Result: Within the quarter, NPS rose to 45 (+11), first‑response time dropped 27%, and churn decreased 8%.
