WHAT ARE WE GOING TO LEARN TODAY?

ê Understand how journey models can be used as a

component of an experience strategy to illustrate

relationships with “customers” and an

organization over time and across channels

ê Learn the steps in developing a journey model

ê Discover ways to socialize the journey models and

make them a part of your organization’s assets


WHAT IS A JOURNEY MODEL?

WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?

HOW DO I CREATE & USE IT?


PERSONAS ARE

SNAPSHOTS OF

PEOPLE

FROZEN IN TIME


PEOPLE

(USUALLY)

ARE NOT

FROZEN IN TIME


the process of illustrating a complete story

centered on the relationship that unfolds over time

between an individual and a

system / service / product / brand / organization

JOURNEY MAPPING (OR MODELING) IS…


WHY DO WE NEED JOURNEY MODELS?

Every day mediocre experiences are delivered

Organizations do not understand our customers, and

are unintentionally neglecting them

Internal politics trump customer needs

Put our systems/services/products in the context of

people and their lives


WHAT DO WE MEAN BY ENGAGEMENT?


TOUCHPOINTS

A point of interaction involving a specific

human need in a specific time and place

Comparing products

Paying a bill

Signing up for a service


CHANNELS

A medium of interaction with customers

– where touchpoints occur

Website

Social media

Phone

Email


CHANNELS

SINGLE CHANNEL Need CAN ONLY be fulfilled via ONE channel

CROSS-CHANNEL Need MUST be fulfilled using MORE THAN ONE channel

MULTI/OMNI-CHANNEL Need CAN be fulfilled on MANY different channels

EXAMPLE OF AN

EXCEPTIONAL

OMNI-CHANNEL

EXPERIENCE?


IF YOUR BRAND WERE A PERSON,

WHO WOULD THEY BE?


MOMENT OF TRUTH

Interaction that leaves a lasting

impression often at the

touchpoint you can design for


JOURNEY MODELING IS A

KEY COMPONENT OF

DEVELOPING AN ELEGANT

EXPERIENCE STRATEGY


OUTSIDE-IN, NOT INSIDE-OUT


HOW DO THEY HELP YOUR TEAM?

Create strategic vision prior to design

Build consensus with stakeholders, showing

opportunities across the ecosystem

Identify key interactions to prototype and test
