Omnichannel design

Are your channel teams all driving their own agenda?

Creating exceptional service experiences requires alignment. We create a service blueprint with your teams to align implementation plans and collaborate with these teams to design the service experience across channels from a journey perspective.

Let’s align your agile teams.

Align Omnichannel Teams

Service Blueprint Channel Strategy Experience flows

To ensure the identified opportunities and customer scenarios are feasible with a positive ROI, we work with your team to create a service blueprint to discover dependencies, overlap, and enablers between channels and teams. This ensures buy-in and helps align omni-channel teams towards a feasible shared goal.

Construct Design System

Design System UI Patterns Design Principles

To ensure consistency across all your channels, we create a design system. This is best described as a set of principles, guidelines, design templates and UI components. It ensures a shared understanding of experience patterns and enables you to design across channels and propositions in a harmonised and agile way.

Experiment in-market

Experiment Design A/B Testing Prototyping

Learn fast and fail early by designing experiments (with the help of your design system) across channels and teams. We run experiments in-market with real customers to validate whether they improve customer experience.

Implement UX design

Design Sprints Agile UX design Test & Learn

Validated insights must be incorporated into current channels through UX design iterations in agile teams. While experiments may be self-contained at first, once validated, it’s time to incorporate them into existing services while aligning with other digital and non-digital channels from an end-to-end journey perspective.

Other services

JOURNEY ROADMAP

Designing services starts with a holistic understanding of customer needs. For this, we interview customers to profile their needs, map these on a customer journey, co-create solutions with your team and deliver a feasible service blueprint and journey roadmap.

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Customer experience excellence starts with your own workforce: their customer-centric mindset, tools and skills. We can asses the current employee experience and help improve engagement through capability building or designing the optimal employee journey.

CX ORCHESTRATION

Company-wide excellence on customer experience requires a framework for customer profiling, journeys, KPI measurements and prioritisation of efforts. We can perform a maturity audit, create a CX impact dashboard and setup a governance structure.
