Real-time customer feedback has become one of those ideas that everyone claims to value, yet few organizations truly know how to use. It's easy to gather opinions after the fact, but far harder to understand what's really happening while an experience is unfolding. What if companies could see issues the moment they emerge and fix them before customers even complain?

According to Steven Peltzman, a longtime leader in technology-driven customer experience innovation, the answer starts with capturing what people feel in the exact moment they feel it. Drawing from his experience building systems that merge digital intelligence with physical-world interactions, Steven explains that real-time signals reveal patterns surveys will never catch. He shares how airports, hospitals, and convenience stores are transforming operations by reacting instantly to sentiment shifts and predicting problems before they escalate. And with multiple data streams working together, he believes companies can finally bridge the gap between insight and action.
