Test creative and messaging on customer journey mapping before committing budget.
Building Comprehensive Customer Journey Maps Across All Channels
A structured, applied course in customer journey mapping — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
A message about customer journey mapping that tries to reach everyone reaches nobody. Buyers now complete much of their decision on the practice within marketing and commercial practice before speaking to anyone. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this part of marketing and commercial practice is examined, not just described. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting customer journey mapping, ready to be adapted internally. The course covers the marketing and commercial practice capability at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this part of marketing and commercial practice among the areas with the widest performance spread. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on customer journey mapping are used deliberately. Plans for the marketing and commercial practice capability often fail at the handover point between functions. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the practice within marketing and commercial practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
