Customer Journey Mapping – Capturing Unrealised Opportunities How are your customers traversing your environment? Is your organization taking full advantage of all the modern tools available to make this fundamental change in the way you view your customers? And why does it matter? We are in the midst of a Relationship Revolution where it’s critical to understand customer sentiment at every stage. Are there areas for improvement when transitioning from self-service to a live agent? Are your peer-topeer interactions having the business impact your organization needs to drive the desired results? Aspect’s Customer Journey Mapping doesn’t stop at the current state; we compare where you want to be with the effort it will take to get you there and make recommendations accordingly. Does your organization need to tout “best-in-class”? THE COMMUNITY of Aspect® Professional Services will partner with you on how to get there. This session will define the concept of Journey Mapping by walking through a real-world case study. Speaker •
