Customer Journey Mapping Workshop

Workshop Abstract

Learn a customer journey map (CJM), as a vital tool for building future-proof content strategies and content models that are customer-centric*, not brand- or channel-centric. 

Defining requirements for advanced content reuse, personalisation, or multichannel delivery is hard. Instead of assuming what users need or planning content in an abstract way, customer journey maps seek to paint a detailed picture of the user’s experiences, content needs, and emotional states along their way to accomplishing an objective. This brings organizational stakeholders together around UX and integrates directly into content design, modeling, and planning processes that support omnichannel personalisation at any scale.

Gain a large amount of customer understanding into a consumable, maintainable, shareable deliverable, allowing your teams to collaborate around potentially complex editorial plans or content models.

Learning objectives

  • Differentiate between traditional and omnichannel journey maps
  • Extracting content requirements from a journey map
  • Managing maps that can support adaptive content.
