MASTERING THE ESSENTIALS

10:45 - 12:00 WORKSHOP A: Journey Mapping 101
It seems everyone is talking about the customer experience and creating "journey maps". So why all the attention and buzz? As it turns out, today customers are more focused on the experience they receive from your company. It's no longer just about having a better mousetrap--experience does matter. One of the best tools to assess and deliver a great customer experience is to start with journey mapping. Understanding what customers experience at every touchpoint for every channel is imperative to designing world class and best-in-class experiences that drive loyalty and generate customer who rave about that experience. Join this important workshop to learn how you can create practical journey maps that build momentum, secure organization-wide buy-in, and focus on what really matters most. We'll learn through real case examples and hands-on exercises. By attending this workshop, you'll be well on your way to creating journey maps that get results.

From this workshop you will:
· Understand the importance of journey mapping and explore a variety of approaches to developing practical journey maps that fit your brand
· Learn how to use journey maps to demonstrate an ROI and get the buy-in you need
· Be able to easily prioritize the touchpoints that matter the most and create a plan to redesign each to deliver improved results

10:45 - 12:00 WORKSHOP B: Taking Your Journey Maps To The Next Level Using Design Thinking
The key to understanding your clients is having real knowledge of the journey they’re on and how your products and services fit into the context of that journey. Taking a design thinking approach to journey map development provides insight beyond the “what” of your customers’ behaviors and decisions—and into the more important “why.” In this session, you’ll learn:
  • Ways to uncover how your customers are actually experiencing your products and services, and how this experience might be missing the mark.
  • Research approaches that allow you to more deeply understand your customers’ motivations and apprehensions.
  • Insights into how customer experience is impacted by sub-optimal employee experiences and how you can identify opportunities for meaningful improvements.
  • How service design tools can complement and support existing development processes (attendees will get the opportunity to experience service design tools in action).

12:00 - 13:00 WORKSHOP D: Engaging Employees To Come Up With CX Solutions
During our time together we will explore a case study that illustrates how BECU was able to implement a program that engages all employees in the CX process. The program supports a virtuous cycle of ideation and innovation: Inspiring and capturing ideas and seething them through graduation in 4 steps:
1. Incubation
2. Crowdsourcing
3. Assessment
4. Resolution
Spoiler alert: No idea is too small and every idea gets consideration. In fact, the small wins we have experienced have opened new lines of business (increased revenue), streamlined process driven effort (expense reduction), and fostered an environment of employee contribution (engagement).

14:45 - 15:05 PRESENTATION: Breaking Down The Silos to Establish A CX Council

Silos define our industry, our roles and our teams. We’re used to them, at times comfortable in them and understand our purpose within them. To paraphrase and borrow from Dan Ariely – many in our industry talk of breaking down silos, working across silos and de-silo’ing for the good of the customer…to ultimately improve the customer experience, but it’s like making out with your teenage crush… nobody really knows how they’re doing vs the next guy, but everyone else is talking about it, so everyone says they’re doing it. This session will review how we’ve gone about this challenge/opportunity and what you can learn from story.

Audience Learning Objectives:
  • Steps to establishing a CX council
  • Bringing together disparate parts of the organization
