What We Did:
Big Village worked with the client to establish a process for the following activities:
- Establish alignment with key business unit / functional owners on priorities and outcomes
- Exploratory research was conducted with:
- Internal subject matter experts (SMEs) to capture their perspective on customer journeys
- Customer research to develop detailed journeys based on customer needs, requirements, preferences, and competitive experiences (e.g., B2B decision-makers and influencers, channel partners, KOLs, etc.)
- The insights were aligned with major initiatives and business cases were developed for additional funding
- Extensive documentation was developed for the socialization and the application of the insights
- Detailed action plans were developed and are underway
The Result:
- Processes and systems are undergoing major transformation to offer a more seamless, frictionless, omni-channel customer experience.
- Data are being integrated and analyzed to create a ‘single source of the truth’ for staff and customers.
- Support staff are being trained on new systems that will provide greater access to information to address customer inquiries.
- At the same time, self-service tools are being refined for ease of navigation and completion of tasks.
- Communications have been developed to better inform customers about products, services, solutions, and tools.
- Internally, these changes will drive efficiencies over time. Ultimately, this transformation will increase customer confidence in the decision to buy this brand.
