We have executive dashboards for execs to see NPS scores/responses, risks & escalations, discoveries, and the number of calls with accounts on a weekly/quarterly basis. They also can look into the timeline of an account and see all interactions with that account over their lifecycle.

Executive care about data that lives in Gainsight a lot. They'd like to have visibility into how our customers are doing, different trends, forecasting as well as key KPIs such as retention rates. The dashboard capabilities in Gainsight are great and are used from time to time by executives. However, since it is very challenging to calculate many KPIs (net retention rate, gross retention rate, etc.) using Gainsight's data management tools, those are missing from our dashboards which prevents Gainsight from being the one source for all customer related data.

Our Customer Success Executives use dashboards, Customer 360 and additional tools within Gainsight to have great visibility of their relationship with our customers. One of the best futures of Gainsight is that our customer executives have visibility anywhere, so even if they are a customer site they are able to see the Gainsight information and attack any problems that are pending.

Visibility into customer accounts is extremely important for executives as it helps them project revenue, see where the product needs improvement, track potential upsells, see how the clients are segmented, and track the outreach efforts of account managers.

This would depend on the executive, but typically, reports are extracted, combined with other data (call center, sales) and presented to executives in a presentation software. I would love for this to work better, but it's about executive adoption rather than the product.

Yea one of my recommendations is a templated dashboard to start with so that we could edit it to have a re-occurring dashboard sent to the exec team. I don't think they see the full value.

Our executives are very customer focused and need high visibility into the health of the customer base. They leverage the executive dashboards and other reporting within Gainsight on a weekly basis.

Very important. We have a weekly report that is pushed to the E-Team in order to ensure transparency in customer health and what action is being taken. The information is used to help prioritize product and engineering work as well as executive time on accounts that are at risk.

We are still building out revenue associated information in our system as our pricing model is unique. Executives have a vested interest in building out this functionality. However, our VP of Client Services loves the dashboards, especially the survey responses.

Extremely important. Our Execs leverage our Dashboards and drill down if needed. Every once in a while a customer will call our CRO and he will look into GS and have all info at his finger tips and doesn't need to track down people.

We've created numerous executive dashboards as well as the Slack integration so that executives don't have to make the "fire drill" calls to get updates on customers before meetings or when they get calls. The information they need is readily available and allows them to have more deeper conversations with clients that they would have had before.

It depends - I wouldn't say we really have broken the surface on executive level dashboarding. This year we did alot of high level management dashboards but that is just the beginning. As of now, I would say the visiblity is extremely important especially in a SaaS environment. Gainsight, as a true sales support tool, can do this very easily for our sales leaders. They are able to slice and dice depending on their business unit/region/territory, whatever it might be. They can track opportunity performance through reports and the integration within salesforce as well as track rep performance.

Together, our leadership team - directors, VPs, C-Suite - count is 34 people. Each of them is in Gainsight or receives weekly updates out of Gainsight. Our services group conducts weekly account reviews with the front line folks. Sales receives automated triggers to direct their motion to opportune accounts. This goes into our board reporting.

With the system we have in place, this is becoming more important. We haven't started with executive dashboards yet, but, that will most likely change in the near future; especially if we move to slack and can leverage Sally.

Executives are involved with direct customer visits and the main benefit they pursue with Gainsight is the ability to have a view not only of the overall business situation, but also to easily drill down to separate accounts and understand what is going on. Unfortunately, the C360 and R360 are not fully suited for this in our case, because of the complexity of the account structure. Therefore, we have leveraged the reporting and dashboard functionalities as this allows for more flexibility to help us mitigate the issue.
Nevertheless, the ability to provide executives with structured live data on all accounts is a great outcome that can be achieved with Gainsight.

We haven't fully developed Executive-level dashboard views but we are able to quickly give this visibility if needed as well as email reports as needed. There are some ideas for showing retention trends and forecasting that we'd like to explore soon.

We typically produce executive packs based off of the data from within Gainsight, not necessarily so much that executives are accessing Gainsight directly, outside of our Customer Success Group function.
