Our Approach
How Journey Mapping Transforms Your Customer Experiences
The Northridge Group’s journey mapping process enables clients to truly see themselves through the lens of their customers at each phase of their journey. We help you understand the stated and unstated needs of your customer, identify and resolve their current pain points and focus on the key Moments of Truth where there is an opportunity to ‘wow’ your customers with your service.
As part of our customer journey mapping process, we’ll work collaboratively to:
Describe
the Customer Experience from the customers’ perspective and in their terms.
Document
experiences across all customer segments and functional teams.
Keep
it simple and reflect the actions, thought processes and emotions at each step.
Accurately
reflect what is happening vs. what is supposed to happen.
Leverage
multi-disciplinary workshops to gather information across all departments.
Interview
business SMEs and functional experts to gather insights.
Identify
key Moments of Truth and key metrics for incremental improvement.
Leverage
many different data sources to quantify the frequency and quality of the experience.

Online shopping and digital tools have become the ”new normal” and the need for self-service options enabling faster, easier ways to contact companies for service issues and inquiries has never been greater. The challenges this digital transformation presents for companies will continue post-pandemic, yet most companies are not adequately prepared.
