Customer Journey Maps

Your customers are having a journey across all your channels regardless if you are managing it. Customer Journey Maps are a tool to understand your business from your customer’s perspective to improve your customer experience. They help you to understand how customers interact with you today and identify improvement opportunities. From these sessions, you will learn how to:

Define key enabling requirements like skills, processes, data, and measures
Highlights areas of importance where effort should be applied and areas NOT valued by customers so costs can be optimized

Service Design Blueprints

Where Customer Journey Maps illustrate the omni- channel experience of your customer in your “front-stage” (visible to customer) and “back-stage” (supporting processes), Service blueprints helps to define your “behind-the-scenes” process and technology across departments to support the experience design:

Identification of the actors involved in the definition of the service by means of appropriate analytical tools
Definition of possible service scenarios, verifying use cases, and sequences of actions and actors’ roles in order to define the requirements for the service and its logical and organizational structure
Representation of the service by means of techniques that illustrate all the components of the service, including physical elements, interactions, logical links and temporal sequences
At the end of the session, you will have your own customized service blueprint to your specific organization that you can implement immediately.

Personas Development

Personas are a stand-in for a unique group of people who share common goals. They are fictional representatives—archetypes based on the users’ behaviors and attitudes. Personas give you a common language to talk meaningfully about your customers. They help you to keep on the right targeted audience and build empathy for your customers.

NPS is based on the fundamental perspective that every company’s customers can be divided into three categories: Promoters, Passives, and Detractors. By asking one simple question — “How likely is it that you would recommend [your product or service] to a colleague?” — you can track these groups and get a clear measure of our product’s performance through your customers’ eyes.
