Drawn from the latest CS research, real-world insights from leaders at Atlassian, CDK Global, LinkedIn and ZoomInfo, and frameworks from Certinia's executive advisory practice, this ebook goes further than "align your teams and fix your data."
It shows you the specific moments where NRR breaks, why they break the same way every time, and what AI can actually do at each stage once the foundation is in place.
