MAPPING
Customer Journey Mapping is the process of simulating a customer journey to establish the key touch points and pain points in the current customer journey. These interactive workshops allow participants to get out of head space of being a supplier and into the head space of being a customer and allows them the opportunity to identify critical touch points, as well as pain points during a customer experience and make recommendations for improvements.

CUSTOMER JOURNEY MAPPING workshops are run over half a day (4 hours) or a full day (8 hours).
Participants are split into teams of 6 - 8 members per team and each team is allocated a specific market segment to focus on during the workshop. Teams are required to create a storyboard for each customer persona, as well as an empathy map, to ensure they have a clear picture of the customer. The teams then map a simulated customer journey in line with the persona and market segment.
To ensure actionable outcomes from the session, participants are required make a list of recommended improvements in the current journey to drive a smoother customer experience. Improvements are categorized into the specific areas of people, processes and technology and then tasks are allocated to the relevant personnel or department heads who agree to action them by a specified date.

Customer Journey Mapping workshops begin with a 1 hour keynote speech entitled 'Beyond Service to Driving Customer Experience' highlighting the difference between delivering customer service and driving a customer experience. Followed by the interactive Customer Journey Game, an employee engagement tool designed to shift thinking from focusing purely on the point of purchase to understanding the many touch points in a customer journey. In journey mapping workshops, participants map each step in the current customer journey and then identify pain points that are creating obstacles to the ideal experience. Participants share ideas and discuss improvements that need to be made in terms of people, processes and technology to drive a seamless experience in the future.
