From customer experience

to customer journey

to customer driven innovation


• Your customers are the experts on your market, because they

are your market => use them as such

• The closer you feel to your customer, the more you empathise

with their needs and drivers, the more rewarding it is to work for

them

• Visualise all touchpoint experiences and ideas for improvement

will automatically follow

• Share your findings to create a customer centered mentality

workarounds

• Customers are pleased to be asked

• Assumption check

Findings

What did we see?


Programming with no NHC background (@niko)

Installer has to complete an exercise in the NHC software.

All his actions are captured in a movie .

/ /

What did we note?


While observing we noted down several things:

- quotes from the installer

- things that cauth our eye

- the enviromental conditions

- …

These notes are split up in 6 categories:

- good installation practices

- context driven

- learn by doing

- product improvements

- step by step check

- separation between thinking & actions

Customer journeys

The Niko experience?

• How do we want to be perceived by the customers?

• How to translate this into design objectives which are maintained

in the entire communication & interaction chain towards the

customer.

• How to transmit this image to build a strong customer experience

over all the touchpoints with the customer.

• How to involve the entire company to direct their efforts in the

same customer strategy, to deliver a successful customer

experience.

Customer driven innovation?


• Take customer drivers as a starting point for any development,

not technology or resources

• Customer = any potential client ≠ current buyer

• Analyse any change in the customer context and continuously

formulate concepts around them

• Think of solutions instead of products

• Share your findings internally

because they live and breathe the industry
