Overview
The structured listening system that generates the inputs AI cannot source
When every competitor uses the same AI tools to produce the same strategies, the companies that win are those with better inputs. In Power Listening: Hear What Machines Miss and Earn the Revenue They Can't, Kerushan Govender, CEO of Blacfox and former Microsoft executive, introduces the Intersection Formula, an eight-step methodology that builds genuine market understanding through disciplined, structured listening to real human beings.
Power Listening guides readers from honest product self-examination through rigorous market research, evidence-based positioning, high-impact discovery conversations, and a living intelligence loop that compounds in value with every interaction.
Readers will also find:
- A complete eight- step Intersection Formula covering the full commercial chain from product understanding through positioning and discovery
- Practical methods for capturing buyer language at scale and building evidence-based positioning rather than relying on intuition
- A living intelligence loop framework that updates continuously as markets shift, compounding value with each conversation
- Guidance on using AI effectively for outputs while protecting the human inputs that generate genuine market understanding
- Strategies drawn from scaling a $250 million Microsoft business across 80 countries and advising organizations on four continents
