What is journey mapping?

Each experience someone has with your organization is not a discrete, isolated event. It's one of a series of interconnected interactions that form a journey, over time, with your organization.

Journey mapping provides a collaborative, visual representation of how your users use your website/product/service which helps:

  • Deliver consistently great experiences, in particular in complex interactions with your products or services;
  • Identify gaps in content and functionality and between key touchpoints; critical moments; and opportunities for innovation based on user needs and business objectives;
  • Breakdown silos in your organization that get in the way of how people interact with your products and services;
  • Identify critical gaps, pain points, and points of failure in your user's experience; and
  • Drive transformation and innovation in your organization.

By the end of this workshop, you'll learn how to:

  • Identify four different types of journey maps. 
  • Overcome objections and gain buy-in for journey mapping initiatives from executives and key stakeholders.
  • Plan and facilitate journey mapping workshops that deliver the AHA! moments you need.
  • Storytell the experience of key interactions to create empathy.
  • Build consensus among diverse stakeholders, facilitating change and/or innovation.
  • Solve gnarly experience problems.
  • Prioritize innovations based on impact to the experience and your organization.

  • Best practices, tools, and tips for every step of the journey mapping process.
