Business Strategist, Retail Corporation

Starting Situation

Struggled to evaluate vendor proposals that all claimed revolutionary capabilities. Lacked frameworks for distinguishing genuine innovation from marketing.

Achieved Outcome

Developed ability to ask questions revealing true system capabilities versus carefully curated demonstrations. Identified vendor whose solution actually addressed organizational needs. Implementation succeeded because requirements matched reality. Saved company from expensive mistake with competitor.

"Learning which questions to ask changed everything. Vendors who couldn't answer clearly revealed they oversold capabilities. We chose partner who demonstrated honest understanding of limitations."
