Overview

A global technology firm with a large team of senior executives engaged Nextant to streamline how executive-client interactions were tracked and leveraged. These executives often supported sellers in key client engagements and escalations, but their insights were being lost due to disorganized and siloed documentation.

Chief of Staff teams, responsible for managing this process, struggled to keep up—there was no standardized or centralized tool to record these interactions or extract meaningful trends.

The initiative began with a clear objective: enable executives to participate in client engagements with greater visibility, structure, and accountability—without adding manual overhead.

The key goals included:

• Centralization: Develop a single, accessible location for logging and reviewing executive engagements across the organization.

• Actionability: Ensure every meeting output—tasks, follow-ups, escalations—was documented and trackable through to completion.

• Visibility: Provide Chiefs of Staff and senior leadership with a clear view of how executive engagements impacted deal progression and revenue outcomes.

• Efficiency: Eliminate the time lost to fragmented documentation and manual updates, freeing up valuable leadership time.

• Scalability: Create a system that could support hundreds of engagements and evolve with the organization’s growth.

This vision aligned with a broader transformation effort across the client’s sales support ecosystem, with a strong focus on operational excellence and measurable outcomes.

Challenges

• Executives were meeting frequently with customers, but the resulting insights and action items were not consistently captured or acted upon.

• The Chief of Staff teams lacked a structured process and operated across disconnected systems.

• No analytics or tracking tools were in place to evaluate the impact of executive engagements or identify trends.

  
  

Approach

Nextant adopted a consultative, agile approach focused on rapid iteration and deep alignment with business stakeholders. The engagement was designed to move fast—without compromising stakeholder input or solution usability.

The approach included:

• Stakeholder Discovery: Nextant conducted in-depth interviews with Chiefs of Staff, executive admins, and sales support teams to understand how engagements were currently managed and where gaps existed.

• Pain Point Analysis: Through workshops and process mapping, the team identified core friction points—such as lack of consistent follow-up, scattered tools, and poor visibility into engagement impact.

• Prototype First: Instead of jumping into development, Nextant designed an interactive Figma prototype that visually communicated the proposed workflow. This allowed for immediate feedback and alignment before any build began.

• Agile Build & Integration: Leveraging Microsoft’s Power Platform (Power Apps, Power BI, Power Automate), the solution was developed in short sprints with hands-on validation from business users.

• Enablement & Change Management: Nextant provided training and documentation to Chiefs of Staff and executive teams, ensuring smooth onboarding and long-term adoption.

  
  

  This structured yet flexible process ensured the final solution didn’t just work—it worked the way real users needed it to.

Solution

Nextant conducted stakeholder interviews to understand the pain points and pitched a custom-built solution. A Figma mockup was created to visually validate the concept before development began.

The final solution was a Power App Engagement Tracker integrated with Power BI and Power Automate, enabling:

• Centralized tracking of executive customer and partner engagements

• Automation of workflows and reminders for action items

• Analytics dashboards to measure impact and identify trends

• A more structured and scalable program for Chief of Staff teams to manage executive participation

Frequently Asked Questions about Executive Engagement Tracking Solutions

1. What is an executive engagement tracking solution? An executive engagement tracking solution is a centralized tool that helps businesses log, manage, and analyze meetings and interactions that senior executives have with clients or partners. It improves follow-through on action items, captures valuable insights, and helps measure the business impact of executive involvement.

2. Why is executive engagement tracking important for large organizations? In large organizations, executives are involved in high-value meetings but often lack a structured way to track outcomes. Without proper tracking, insights can be lost, follow-ups missed, and it's hard to measure ROI. A centralized system ensures visibility, accountability, and better decision-making.

3. What are the benefits of using a Power App for executive engagement tracking? Power Apps allow organizations to create low-code, customizable solutions that integrate seamlessly with Microsoft 365. Benefits include centralized data collection, automated workflows with Power Automate, and real-time analytics with Power BI—all tailored to the organization’s needs.

4. Can this type of solution improve revenue tracking? Yes. By logging each executive engagement and tying it to specific deals or accounts, companies can see how executive involvement impacts revenue. This allows teams to compare pipeline value at the time of engagement versus when deals close, providing insights into executive effectiveness.

5. How does automation help with follow-up tasks? Automated reminders and workflows ensure that action items from meetings are assigned, tracked, and completed on time. This reduces manual follow-up and improves overall task completion rates.

6. Is executive engagement tracking only for technology companies? No. While the solution highlighted was implemented at a global tech firm, any organization with high-level stakeholder interactions—such as financial services, consulting, healthcare, or enterprise sales—can benefit from executive engagement tracking.

7. How long does it take to implement an executive engagement tracker? Implementation time varies based on the complexity of the organization’s needs. However, with platforms like Microsoft Power Apps, a functional prototype can often be developed in weeks, especially when paired with agile consulting and stakeholder feedback loops.
