One of the most powerful drivers of good business decisions is empathy. With increased empathy, we can better serve our customers and employees, which can directly drive revenue, loyalty, and operational efficiency.

Empathy is Very Good for the Bottom Line

But empathy doesn’t just happen. It requires curiosity and observation. When we better understand people’s experiences engaging with us across time, channels, and touchpoints, it helps us: discover unanswered questions; identify process, product and service opportunities; address unmet needs; and relieve frustration and inefficiency.

What is Experience Mapping?

Experience mapping, a.k.a. customer journey mapping, is a way to understand the outside-in experience people have working with (or within) your business. It offers a rich starting point for making things better, and a valuable input to better decision-making. It is a powerful step toward becoming a more customer-aligned organization and differentiating your brand on customer experience.
