Sometimes people just don't really know what they want until they start to see something, and I think that's another key - mock things up early and often. @ Ed

I would note this can be complemented with additional design techniques when dealing with customers that are not as explicit in what they want/don't want, like and don't like as enterprises are (e.g. when building products for massive adoption by consumers). There are additional 'extreme' CCE patterns e.g. putting up a team in the midst of your customers' environment (for example <a href="http://edjez.instedd.org/2008/09/phnom-penh-innovation-lab-team-giving.html" rel="nofollow">this one</a>).
