How do you prioritize and categorize analyst feedback based on relevance, urgency, and actionability?

To effectively utilize analyst feedback, start by identifying its sources. Analysts can vary in type, including industry, market, product, or user analysts, each offering unique perspectives. Consider the frequency and format of feedback, such as regular reports, webinars, blogs, or occasional briefings, emails, or calls. Understanding the sources and nature of feedback can help you prioritize and respond strategically to insights and improve your strategies.

Prioritizing and categorizing analyst feedback is like sorting a deck of cards: Relevance: Think of it like picking out the aces. Focus on feedback that directly relates to your business goals or current challenges. That's your top priority. Urgency: Just like in a game of Uno, some cards need immediate attention. Identify feedback that demands quick action to prevent problems or seize opportunities. Actionability: Sort feedback like you're organizing a hand of playing cards. Keep the ones that you can act on right away close by, and set aside the ones that require more planning or resources. By sorting through analyst feedback with these three factors in mind, you'll play your hand right and keep your business ahead of the game!

To effectively utilize analyst feedback, it's crucial to evaluate its impact on your business. Consider the relevance of the feedback to your product vision, value proposition, and differentiation. Assess the urgency of the feedback for your product roadmap, launch, or update. Evaluate the actionability of the feedback for your product development, marketing, or sales strategies. By analyzing these factors, you can prioritize and implement the most valuable feedback to drive your business forward.

Entscheidend ist, dass Relevanz sowohl aus positiver als auch kritischer Resonanz entsteht. Des Weiteren sollte AR unbedingt die Fachleute aus Produktmanagement, Strategieentwicklung, Marketing einbeziehen. Der ?Relations“-Teil von AR sollte sich immer auf die gesamte und bi-direktionale Kommunikationsstrecke zwischen Analysten und internen Fachleuten beziehen.

With the amount of insights we receive, organizing them into meaningful categories is crucial. Create subgroups like product feedback for product improvements, go-to-market feedback for sales and marketing strategies, customer feedback for insights from customers and prospects, and market insights for industry trends. This enhances organization and prioritization by focusing on relevance and impact, facilitating easier internal communication with relevant teams.

I am not sure if you really need an exhaustive process to capture the feedback. Most analysts' feedback is lost during/after the calls and may never be actioned upon.

I complete agree with @sudeshna that most of the great stuff is lost. You need basic project management to make sure action gets taken and impact gets made. I see a great role for AR here, to push and manage, but few AR people see that as their role and the insights never see light of day

This touches on a number of topics, but I didn't feel it necessarily fit into one or the other: A good note taking process. I take my notes by hand during analyst interactions, go back immediately following the interaction to clean them up and categorize them. Once I've done that, I can go back through and review the conversation again, checking for understanding, while also wrapping insights in business/market context before delivering them to stakeholders through slide decks, Team, email, etc.
