At Rival IQ, we take a different approach: once a month, folks from every department present a handful of key metrics that relate to the success of our customers,\u00a0product, and business. We leave plenty of time for questions and conversation, and work hard to ensure that the meeting is led by everyone, not just top leadership.

First and foremost: to improve your experience.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>By looking at things like number of active daily users in our product, or how many users are taking advantage of new features like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/live-benchmarks\/\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Explore<\/a>, we can map the experience of our customers over time to continually make improvements in our product. Drop-off in daily users? Maybe we need to look at making the login experience easier. Experiencing lower traffic in a particular product feature than we&#8217;d like? Maybe it&#8217;s time to rename or revamp the feature so more people know where it is or that it&#8217;s available to them. And if we see a drop in our web traffic or email open rates, it&#8217;s a sure sign that we need to create more compelling content or rethink our distribution strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we&#8217;re looking at the customer experience outside of this meeting too, but presenting progress to your colleagues and having someone outside your department ask questions or point out changes can go a long way to inspiring solutions (and, of course, more questions!).<\/p>\n<p><em>2. To keep accountable to one another<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Nothing says accountability quite like presenting what your department is up to in front of your entire company. Even when I&#8217;m responsible for just a slide or two, I feel a strong desire to move the needle with my work so I can share that success with my colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>Bonus? That sense of accountability extends to the health and success of the company itself, with regular updates from our founders about how the company is doing financially. These updates are an exercise in living our company values of transparency and trust, and go a long way to helping everyone feel like we&#8217;re all rowing the boat together. It&#8217;s also pretty cool when you can see the straight line between your department&#8217;s metrics and the bottom line of the company.<\/p>\n<p><em>3. To encourage collaboration between departments<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Rival&#8217;s open office and weekly lunches mean we&#8217;re far from siloed, but our metrics meetings give a regular chance for us to connect the dots between departments. Super high web traffic month? Might mean our sales team should expect a boatload of new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/signup\/\">trials<\/a>. New feature seeing a lot of traffic in our app? Our customer success team should buckle up and be ready to answer questions from customers using that feature for the first time.<\/p>\n<h3>Putting the &#8220;pie&#8221; in pie chart<a class=\"merge\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/a> <a class=\"remove\" style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\n<div class=\"as-editor-card\">\n<div class=\"as-editor-card-handle\">\n<div class=\"as-editor-card-controls\">\n<div id=\"attachment_14980\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14980\" class=\"wp-image-14980 size-large-modern\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_0388-e1521745430267-700x933.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_0388-e1521745430267-700x933.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_0388-e1521745430267-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_0388-e1521745430267-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_0388-e1521745430267-100x133.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_0388-e1521745430267-350x467.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_0388-e1521745430267-500x667.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_0388-e1521745430267-1170x1560.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.rivaliq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/IMG_0388-e1521745430267.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14980\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pizza+pie charts=love.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>As a newbie on the team, it&#8217;s been surprising (and awesome) to see how gathering around a communal meal once a week can do so much to support Rival&#8217;s values of transparency, collaboration, and communication. Way back when Rival IQ was just a dream in our founders&#8217; metaphorical garage, they got together to hatch plans over lunch on Wednesdays, and that tradition has stuck. There&#8217;s always something food-related to talk over or laugh about (like the time we ordered so many MOD pizzas on Pie Day that they couldn&#8217;t keep up with the demand), which helps to bring us closer together as a company\u2013even when we&#8217;re diving deep into statistical analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Metrics make our product better, and therefore our customers happier, which is absolutely reason enough to review them on the reg. But the side effects of a closer-knit, more-accountable, and better-fed team are icing on the cake.
