Customer Journey Management System
Based on Futurelab experience at NN Insurance, Vodafone, Toyota/Lexus, Grant Thornton and various others
20/05/2018
Operational reality always seems reasonable from the internal point of view. But
from the perspective of the customer it could look very different. Conflicting
messages, inconsistent promises and extra hoops to jump through can result in
confusion and ultimately loss of customer.
This is why Customer Journey Management at the heart of any Customer
Experience programme. Starting with the framework describing all events,
emotions, expectations and interactions that customers experience with your
company answers 4 key objectives:
1. Understanding your customer reality better
2. Aligning your people around a single framework for CX
3. Developing an action plan and giving momentum to for structural CX
improvements in your company.
4. Ensure the continuous implementation and management of the customer
journey throughout the organisation
On the next pages we show you the elements that go in to a full scale
Customer Journey Management System. Of course you will have to look
which of these elements are relevant for your organisation and your situation.
We will gladly help you with this. Call us to discuss real life examples and cases
and how we can help you to put the customer at the heart of everything you do.

easy to get lost in the detail
of every touch-point.
That’s why it’s important to
start simple and focus on
the big picture first.

Once the high level journey is
defined, it needs to be translated
into operational standards upon
which the business can act.
This is done at a high enough
level to be customer noticeable
and allow the company to
answer the question Are we
doing the right things?

5. Implement improvements/changes

Planning without action is pointless.
But when it comes to implementing
improvements it is crucial to clearly scope
and prioritise the extent of the change
envisaged. Only this way the company can
make sure that they really happen.
