Rather than just visual decoration,
design is creative problem solving
baked in right from the beginning
to strategically shape solutions.

= very limited product use

AVARENESS
One of the main reasons why products or services
and startups fail is not knowing the own customers.
(no market need, poor solution, ignored customers)

ATTITUDE
The customer is not disturbing us in our work.
It is all about him.
The customer does not depend on us.
We are depending on him.

DESIGN SKILLS
Big tech companies and consultancies
acquire complete design agencies at large scale,
set customer-centricity as top priority,
and establish their own set of tools and methods for it.

COMPONENTS A multi-disciplinary,
holistic approach

@BennoLoewenberg
BEYOND SILOS
It is about customer value:
and many expertises are needed
to address and serve this successfully.
Therefore a multi-disciplinary approach
across all departments is needed.

@BennoLoewenberg
Only possible, when ALL
departments work together

@BennoLoewenberg
THE RIGHT MIND-SET-UP
+ Innovation comes from anywhere
+ Focus on the customer
+ Ship and iterate (don’t die in perfection)
+ Give employees 20 percent time (tinkering fosters ideation)
+ Default to open processes
+ Have a mission that matters (as overall guideline)

A way to realize innovation. It`s all about human centered-
ness, hands-on approach, iteration and learning.

and developing new product and service prototypes.

Diagramming the elements of a customer experience
path from the customer’s point of view.
The area of interest and intended use of the CJM
determines what is included:

@BennoLoewenberg
EXPERIENCE MAP
Including the emotional state of a human
in the context of his wider life,
to analyse his general experience.
For analysing the actual state to reveal insights
by identifying threats and opportunities.

SERVICE BLUEPRINT
With layers added for the business side
behind the touch points, that is invisible to the customer.
Suitable for diagnosis, improvement and management
of existing as well as for envisioning and planning
of future service offerings.

@BennoLoewenberg
APPLICATION
CJM is a tool to communicate (strategic) insights
and ideas for common understanding and
decision making.
It helps determining what to measure and analyse
as well as what actions need to be taken in order
to put an appropriate solution into real.

@BennoLoewenberg
PUT ONESELF IN THE CLIENT
Avoid stupid ideas and bad customer experiences
through taking the user’s perspective
and his context into account.

@BennoLoewenberg
ALL IN THE SAME BOAT
Since customers do not care about inner structures
of companies and regard every outcome as from
one entity (the brand), all departments have
to work together for successful outcome.

@BennoLoewenberg
TAKING THE PULSE
Any experience design measure never is a one-off !
The value lies in using e. g. CJMs repeatingly to
adjust to the changing business conditions.
