For the better part of a decade, I’ve had courtside seats to the evolution of two interrelated disciplines: customer experience and service design. From my vantage point as a both a designer and industry analyst, I’ve seen the potential for these fields to complement, learn, and benefit from each other. A Natural Partnership. The two fields’ respective objectives are, in my mind, the cornerstone of this seemingly natural partnership.

Reducing customer effort is a high priority for support teams. As customers we all know the frustration of getting lost in endless email chains, chats, or phone support to resolve a simple issue, or so we thought.

In a recent post, I tackled the common question of which journey(s) an organization should map. But equally important is the question of which persona should be associated with that map. Before I go any further, let me make this point clear: EVERY JOURNEY MAP NEEDS AN ASSOCIATED PERSONA. Why is this? Quite simply, different customers have different needs and expectations of your organization.

Customer Experience (CX) is a messy space. Inside companies, CX pros are herding cats and presenting cases to the shark’s tank. CX improvement usually involves wrangling cross-functional teams, competing for resources and choosing a specific direction to run. Seasoned managers know that CX business cases can fall over despite listening intently to the voice of the customer.
