Quantifiable Results
Steps Achieved

Step 2
Developed a roadmap to organize our product development efforts around our customers needs
Step 3
Validating our solutions by presenting them to the customer and measuring their experience
The Challenge
Employee Cycle had ambitious goals to revolutionize the world of human resources, but it wasn’t going to happen without the appropriate product strategy. This is when Bruce, their Co-Founder & CEO decided to bring Sean and NxtStep onto the team to develop a product strategy that would set Employee Cycle up for success.
The Approach
Over a period of 6 months working together with the Employee Cycle team, we have been able to produce multiple rounds of customer interviews and an effective product roadmap for which the technical team has been able to organize effort around.
With our help, Employee Cycle has been able to make real progress towards building a successful product organization. This has enabled the company executives to focus on selling the product value proposition and fundraising. NxtStep has been able to deliver these results in only 6 months working together.
The Solution
NxtStep has provided Employee Cycle with the right product strategy to achieve their goals. Through customer discovery and the development of a product roadmap the team is armed with everything they need to measure the strength of the company’s value proposition.
This enabled the Employee Cycle team to focus on growing their business and achieving their goals.
Sean has a great ability to translate between business and tech and that has been invaluable to our success. We come into our meetings with a list of discussion topics, and Sean helps us refine them into a coherent, achievable two week project plan.
