Bain Partner Eric Almquist returns to discuss developments in his Elements of Value framework and how companies are using it.
What do customers really want when they buy a product? Some benefits are fairly obvious—convenience and quality, for example.

Bain Partner Eric Almquist returns to The Net Promoter System Podcast to discuss developments in his Elements of Value framework and how companies are using it.

In recent months, he has been expanding the framework to consider the specialized needs of companies in B2B markets.
