Customer experience, designed as a system

Customer experience strategy is the work of deciding what your customers should experience at each interaction, then building the operational systems that deliver it consistently. The strategy part is usually the easy half.

The reason CX programmes disappoint is that the workshop output never reaches the systems where the work happens. We approach it from the systems end, because that’s where we live.

Customer experience strategy journey

What we actually do

Map the journey as performed, not as designed

We interview the people doing the work and trace real cases end to end.

Find the moments that carry disproportionate weight

In lending it’s the first call after application. In broking it’s onboarding. Most journeys have two or three of these.

Design the service, then build it

Response commitments, escalation paths, ownership rules, self service, then configure them into CRM and Desk.

Instrument it

CSAT and NPS are lagging and easy to game. We instrument operational signals: first response time, resolution rate, reopened tickets, repeat contacts.

Why most CX programmes fail

They produce a journey map and a set of principles, then hand them to teams whose systems make the desired behaviour harder than the current behaviour. If your agent has to open four tabs to answer a question, no amount of training produces a good experience. Change the system or change nothing.
