Deep dives
Key Point 1: Importance of Journey Centricity and Bold Approach
Journey Centric organizations prioritize customer journeys throughout the organization and take a bold approach to transform the operational model. Companies like Lloyd's, Nissan, and Mercedes have embraced Journey Central City and achieved better customer experience results. They break away from the status quo and adopt a cross-functional, enterprise-wide transformation, making customer journeys the focal point of their operations.
Key Point 2: Relationship between Customer Obsession and Journey Centricity
Customer obsession and Journey Centricity are interrelated strategies. Customer obsession emphasizes delivering amazing customer experiences, while Journey Centricity operationalizes customer obsession within the organization. Journey Centricity focuses on understanding and delivering the customer's outcomes and goals through various journeys. By using journeys as a framework, companies can map the steps a customer takes to achieve their desired outcome and align different functions to prioritize those journeys.
Key Point 3: Three Phases of Journey Centric Transformation
Companies undergo a three-phase transformation to become Journey Centric. The first phase is activation, where companies introduce journey thinking and create a structure, identify initial core journeys, and involve journey champions. The second phase is connection, where companies deepen their journey focus, establish permanent journey roles, and conduct extensive customer research. The final phase is extension, where companies expand their journey-centric approach across the organization, orchestrate cross-functionally, use predictive metrics, and prioritize based on journeys and customer outcomes. Throughout these phases, companies leverage six operational levers: structure, people, process, metrics, culture, and technology, adapting and advancing them at different rates.
