Workshop
Scaling Design through Journey Maps
A masterclass on how to embed and scale service design throughout organizations by using journey maps as a customer-centric management tool for agile organizations.
Nowadays, organizations run dozens, sometimes even hundreds, of agile projects that all impact customer and/or employee experience. Only few of these projects are innovation or design projects – many of these are changes in SOPs, implementing legal changes (such as GDPR), IT updates, and so on. These projects impact CX/EX, but are hardly coordinated. In general, organizations struggle with managing multiple agile teams.
Journey Maps are typically used as a design tool. However in this workshop you’ll learn how to use Journey Maps to manage and track a whole range of projects impacting the CX/EX. Using Journey Map this way can help you identify overlaps and contradictions between running and planned projects. Marc will provide hands-on tips how to set this up in your organization or in your client's organization, and share 20 lessons learned on how to embed and scale service design in organizations.
