It is becoming almost cliché to say that today’s shopper prefers experiences over things. In advertisements for its “Tiny House” series, HGTV quotes a millennial couple saying “We prefer experiences over things and don’t want all our money invested in our house.” Fade to a photo of the couple standing in front of the Louvre, and then back to their tiny house.

Cliché or not, the data is starting to prove out the statement. The US economy remains consumption-driven, but that consumption is moving to travel, entertainment and health care, and away from clothing and electronics.

Many respected authors and publishers give great steer on how you should carry out this work initially.

Customer experience touchpoint invariably represent your “moments of truth” within your customer journey – that is to say the moments of truth and the moments of pain when you have the most ability to delight or frustrate your customers.  As change happens, being in the loop to re-map your customer experience touchpoint, consider impact and make changes to processes and systems reduces negative impact.  If you’re in an organisation that is silo’d you may not have the good fortune to make the changes in advance.  You need to quickly respond and make the changes to avoid a poor customer experience.  Here’s five tips on the best approach to take.
