More channels, more complexity

Contact with your end users runs through more and more channels. This means that keeping an overview - and therefore also gaining new insights - is becoming increasingly complex.

User journeys connect the touchpoints between your end users and your organization across all channels. They quickly and visually provide insight into the bottlenecks and wishes of your end users. And at the same time, they identify the points where better results are possible, such as a higher ROI or improved efficiency.

But not every organization is getting the most out of this powerful instrument. Moreover, there are major differences in the degree of maturity that organizations find themselves in.

‍

The ideal situation

User journeys are the central starting point for all teams working on product innovation for your organization. Furthermore, in an ideal world, all user journeys are created and presented in the same way, and are stored in a way that makes them easily accessible to the entire organization. A friendly management tool is often used for this.

But in practice, few organizations have reached this point.

‍

Typical bottlenecks

User journeys are often still made based on assumptions and intuition - 'We know our customers, right?' and not on the basis of user research.
Often only parts of the customer or user journey are mapped.
Moreover, this happens occasionally. There is no permanent team organized around the user journey yet, which ensures continuous updates.
Rarely are user journeys managed in a joint tool, so that they form the shared starting point for controlled, continuous product innovation by all your teams.

‍

How mature?

We notice that many organisations immediately strive for the perfect picture. But it's better to learn to walk first before you start running. That is why it is good to know how mature your organization is now in the field of user journey management.

We can help you with a short audit. We distinguish different phases of maturity. Below you will find a compact version so that you can form an initial idea.

Ask for the presentation

Are more people interested in your organization? We are happy to give a knowledge presentation - 'Client Journey Management in a structured way'. Leave your details and we will contact you to schedule it.
