Abstract

How Experience Mapping, and the process you go through to create Experience Maps, can give you customer and business insight; build empathy and gain business buy in. Experience Maps are very much en vogue at the moment, but they are far more than just a pretty artefact: they are an incredibly valuable way of demonstrating an end to end journey from a customer’s perspective. We will look at how you can go about creating an experience map, the information that can be very valuable to show on it, and how it can be used to create effective, cross-channel and devices customer centric products and experience, and ones that drive real business value.
