Day 4. Jeannie is still on vacation.
Yeah, I’m counting. I thought it’d be neat to wrap up our innovation month with a map (scroll down, it’s right down there) and give you the keys to unlock the motherlode! Really, it will guide you through the process of achieving customer experience innovation. If you click here, you’ll be taken to an enlarged map on ThingLink (and I suggest you check out this visual content toy if you haven’t). There you may hover over the map and see links to different blogs/pictures (there’s a meme treat in there) to expand on these key points.
What are the grand five stages?
1) Understanding the Current Customer Experience – Listen on social media, gather feedback, know your customer metrics
2) Expectations – What are you trying to achieve and does your mission embody the *actual* experience your old and new customers are having/should have?
3) Disruption – Check out what your competitors and other industries are doing. How can you deliver it better and faster? It doesn’t have to be a wild never-seen-before idea…
4) Reinvention – Include your customers and employees in the process, reiterate and tweak!
5) Predict the Future – How can you get ahead of the game? What will your audience be looking for?
Again, visit the large and clickable map! Enjoy! If there are any questions or extra information you’d like tagged in the map, just holler at us in the comments.
Great best practice post for maturing customer experience teams. Hard to argue with any of your points.
