A great customer experience is one where customers feel good, even look good, during their time spent doing business. So, it’s important that a business invest in whatever will improve a customer’s feelings and self-esteem.

I was recently reminded of  this customer experience principle in, of all places, the bathroom. To be specific, it came to me while I was standing in front of my bathroom mirror at the gorgeous Old Edwards Inn, a luxury resort in Highlands, NC. (No, this isn’t how I always travel, I’m afraid.

La Customer Journey è arrivata al capolinea?

According to John Seely Brown, ‘the half-life of a learned skill is now just five years’ (2). Customer journey mapping has been around for almost 10 years, so is it teetering on obsolescence. There’s plenty of evidence to suggest it is.

Conferences are filled with consultants claiming they saved the world with journey mapping, while every enthusiastic amateur with a sharpie is now a ‘journey mapping expert’.

So is it time to abandon the tool that has underpinned customer experience transformation for the last 10 years?

Forbes: Empatia, Design Thinking e l’ossessione per la Customer Centricity

SAPVoice Empathy An Obsession With Customer-Centric Innovation by Kaan Turnali
To deliver innovative, customer-centric solutions through design thinking, we must begin with empathy.

In its simplest and purest form, empathy enables us to not only experience and understand another person’s circumstances, but it also puts us in our customers’ shoes to experience what they are feeling. This is where we find the innate struggle born out of user frustrations and bound to the intrinsic value chain of the user experience.

Without a doubt, empathy is the most important design thinking principle I will cover in this series. Its universal application offers infinite promise.

Customer-centric design is about looking out from the inside—rather than outside in
