A tip from our customer experience expert:
“In short, customer journey mapping is hard. On the surface it doesn’t seem like it. Done correctly, however, a workshop should include representatives from each of the areas responsible for managing any of the touchpoints on a customer journey. It should also include both business and technical representatives, so that all aspects of the journey are considered”.
