Sample Answer
One example is a customer implementation program I led that initially missed its targets. We were rolling out a new onboarding process for about 300 enterprise customers, with a goal to cut time-to-value by 30%. I owned the project plan, coordination, and stakeholder communication. On paper, the plan looked solid, but we underestimated how much change management our customer success reps needed. Adoption stalled, only 40% of reps were using the new playbook after two months, and early customer NPS actually dipped by 6 points. I paused the rollout for two weeks, ran structured feedback sessions with 20 reps, and realized we’d designed the process for leadership, not for the people doing the work. We simplified the steps by about 25%, added in-line templates, and created a peer-champion program. Adoption jumped above 85%, and time-to-first-value improved by 24%—not the full 30%, but a solid recovery. Since then, I never launch a major change without co-designing it with frontline users and setting explicit adoption metrics upfront.
