Why a “Team Sport” Approach for Journey Maps?

Seeing is believing

Observing and listening to users has a powerful impact on designers, product managers and other stakeholders. But a few clips in a report doesn’t cut it. Watching in-depth research sessions does.

Alignment is really hard

Watching customers and analyzing data together has a magical power: it builds a shared, objective understanding of customers and their pain points. This saves you a ton down the road by reducing rework, delays and failed launches.

You are the experts

We see it over and over … The journeys, personas, and innovation ideas your team generates beat what consultants produce. But only if you watch users in depth and go through a rigorous, collaborative process.

Data to deadlines in a day

We know how hard it is to turn research into changes that launch. That’s why our workshops don’t end until every top solution has a next step, an owner, and a deadline. Going from messy data to clear next steps in a day or two builds excitement and momentum.

“I loved the interactive nature and really valued the consumers who came in.”
