A customer experience is an interaction between an organisation and a customer. It is a blend of an organisation’s physical performance, the senses stimulated and emotions evoked, each intuitively measured against customer expectations across all moments of contacts.

THIS IS THE FUTURE OF MARKETING

“The customer experience innovation journey is a nonlinear cycle of divergent and convergent activities that may repeat over time and at different organisational levels and both ideas and resources are required to renew the cycle.”

TOUCHPOINTS ≠ CHANNELS

Touchpoint: A point of interaction between a person and any agent or artefact of an organisation. These interactions take place at a certain point in time, in a certain context, and with the intention of meeting a specific customer need.

Channel:A medium of interaction with customers or users. Print, the web, mobile, voice calls, and brick and mortar locations are all common channels for reaching out to and interacting with customers. A channel defines the opportunities or constraints of a touchpoint.

Touchpoints = FeaturesTouchpoints better reflect the importance of the interaction to the person

Pliable, discrete “things” to orchestrate the whole experience

Information objects (IA) wrapped in interactions (IxD)

Touchpoints should be orchestrated*What is each instrument doing; how and when are they doing it.

*you can never have too many metaphors!

Research Conducting qualitative research, getting quantitative data—the material we use to tell the story of the journey.

Discovery Uncovering and understanding all the ways your company interacts or communicates with your customers/users, plus all the points that influence the customer that you don’t control.

Mapping Journey The activity of mapping out the journey and all of its facets.

Communicating Journey Modeling or visualizing the journey to best communicate the journey insight, pain points and opportunities.

Identifying Takeaways Like the morals of the story, stating clearly in actionable terms, what the journey tells us about the experience and what you should do as a result

UNCOVER THE TRUTH

Doing What actions are customers taking to meet their needs? What are their key behaviors?

Thinking How do people frame and evaluate their experience? What do they expect?

Feeling What emotions do people have along their journey? What are the highs? The lows?

RESEARCH

The Building Blocks of Experience Mapping Human experience is complex, and mostly intangible. Yet the challenge of experience mapping is to uncover, little by little, critical information about your customers’ experiences. Through trial and error, we’ve developed a simple framework to guide the discovery and research work required in the experience mapping process. We call them building blocks. The key building blocks are Doing, Thinking, and Feeling, but to understand the full context of customer experience, we also consider Place, Time, Devices, and Relationships. Don't forget Channel and Touchpoints!

We recommend sorting your research and discovery work into building blocks by asking yourself key questions along the way. We've provided a few examples for Doing, Thinking, and Feeling to help you get started.

We don’t do advertising any more. We just do cool stuff, it sounds a bit wanky, but that’s just the way it is. Advertising is all about achieving awareness, and we no longer need awareness. We need to become part of people’s lives and digital allows us to do that.Simon Pestridge, Nike UK

Customer Journey Map Canvas

Some customers might leave you for good reasons (relocation,

change of job, change of status (from single to

Married), out of cash.)… Make it enjoyable, they may come back one day

By brand experience, we understand the product/service (tangible) and all commercial processes around it (intangible)

Sometimes you pay at the start (purchase of a car), at the end

(stay at the hotel), never (it is free) or regularly (a subscription). We can discuss if pay is a separate

moment of buy. I integrate it with buy

Some moments need to be likable, enjoyable,

recommendable, unique, … others should simply

be as the standard.
