Key Workshop Benefits:

The success of these important workshops are dependent on the experiences and expertise level of the journey mapping expert conducting the training. An unsatisfactory or inexperienced level of engagement has the potential to result in incomplete training, skewed guidance, and negative experiences for employees and customers, any of which could cast a bad light on your organization and reputation. We are very sensitive to this. Therefore, all content are developed and taught only by a certified CX Expert and Certified Customer Experience Professional (CCXP). This ensures that you receive training from not just any researcher, but by the very best customer journey mapping experts in the business today.
After attending these well thought-out trainings that are designed specifically for your organization, your internal teams will be able to develop journey mapping insights that will be not just nice to know – but truly actionable.
Our invigorating trainings will help you bring your key team leaders on the same page and help them become aware of each other’s assessments and viewpoints regarding the customer’s and employee’s journeys. This often leads to several “aha” moments and renewed team spirits that accompany getting a better understanding of inter-departmental challenges and customer viewpoints.
The coaching you receive will help you present your customer’s and employee’s key triggers and pain points in each phase of their journeys, in an easy-to-understand visual format. We’ll show you how to fill these journey maps with rich data and factoids obtained from research and from conversations with customers and employees. We will help you understand these maps thoroughly so that a very high level of clarity is obtained on the customer’s and employee’s critical needs and how they can be fulfilled.
