Client Needs discovery

I am preparing to conduct a comprehensive client discovery and needs assessment for [CLIENT COMPANY] in the [INDUSTRY]. The main stakeholder(s) involved will be [STAKEHOLDER PROFILE, e.g., CTO, project team, decision-makers]. My expected outcomes for this discovery are [GOALS, e.g., identifying process gaps, defining solution requirements, building a tailored proposal]. Assume the role of a client success consultant and help me structure a discovery checklist. CONSTRAINTS: - Use only open-ended, targeted questions that lead to actionable, specific insights—avoid yes/no questions. - Structure the checklist to address: client background, main challenges, current processes, desired outcomes, and potential barriers. - Ensure the process respects client confidentiality and produces well-documented, relevant responses without making assumptions. DELIVERABLES: - A customizable questionnaire template grouped by client background, challenges, goals, and required solutions (with sample phrasing for each section). - A checklist for running a thorough, structured discovery meeting or pre-call survey. Ask for any other details needed to tailor the questions or analysis before generating the checklist.
