How Customer Journey Mapping Improves the Customer Experience
We’re excited about our upcoming Technology Services World conference this fall in Las Vegas. This year’s theme is the Art and Science of the Customer Journey, and within my area of research, customer success, many attendees will realize this theme is definitely in our wheelhouse. As part of the customer journey, we usually see two bigger phases of customer success maturity. The first is when we observe a group of professionals working across a company on projects and initiatives that improve the customer’s experience, which we refer to as the “thematic” view of customer success. The second is an organization that has one or more of three common charters of customer success: adoption, retention, and expansion. Regardless of maturity of your customer success and customer experience initiatives, being able to improve your customer’s experience should be a top priority for these teams.

The Digital Transformation Journey
Every once in a while, a perfect storm hits a market. Usually it’s when a new trend or concept appeals simultaneously to both customers and suppliers. When that serendipity strikes, even long-standing models are forever transformed. That is what’s going on today in tech sectors, from IT, to industrial equipment, to transportation, to healthcare. Subscription-based offers are eating their old transaction-based siblings at a breathtaking rate. In my infographic, “Navigating the Digital Transformation Journey,” I outlined 6 key steps to thriving in this changing market. Today, I’m going to talk about the most fundamental underpinning of the new subscription economy and the first step on this journey, “Customer Use Cases,” or in other words, why customers love it!
