Read Marcus Overview

Customer Journey Mapping is the process of creating a graphical representation of the steps and stages a customer goes through to experience a product, service, an online experience, or any combination. It may focus on a particular part of the process or the end-to-end experience.

The journey map identifies key interactions that the customer has with the organization – the user's motivations, thoughts and feelings for each of these touchpoints. It provides a sense of the customer's greater motivation:
•  What do they wish to achieve (goals)?
•  What are their expectations of the organization?

According to a McKinsey study, customers who have had an unpleasant experience on a brand website are 88% less likely to return.

The journey map can be used as part of a business improvement process with potential for both improving the customer experience and reducing the costs of manufacturing a product or providing a service.

In addition, journey maps can reveal the Moments of Truth. Moments of Truth have the biggest impact on customer perception of the experience of all touchpoints across the journey. Moments of Truth are the key parts of the customer journey that need to be focused as part of designing great experiences.

Finally, companies that are setting up an online channel to sell their products and services should conduct a journey mapping analysis prior to the digital transition to ensure a satisfying and seamless customer experience.

In this Customer Journey Mapping PPT training presentation, you will learn how to carry out a systematic customer journey mapping process. It includes defining the scope, developing a persona and creating a step-by-step journey map.

Topic FAQ

What are the essential components to include in a customer journey map?

A customer journey map should capture the sequence of customer actions, the touchpoints where the customer interacts with the organization, the customer’s thoughts and emotions at each stage, and metrics to measure experience and outcomes, specifically customer actions, touchpoints, emotions, and metrics.

How do I create effective personas for journey mapping?

Effective personas start with a target segment definition, documented goals, expectations, and pain points, then use empathy mapping to record motivations and behaviors. Practical templates speed creation; for example, Flevy's Customer Journey Mapping includes persona templates and empathy map templates.

What is a "Moment of Truth" in customer journey mapping?

A Moment of Truth is a critical interaction within the journey that disproportionately shapes a customer’s overall perception; mapping helps reveal these moments so teams can prioritize improvements and measure impact, specifically identifying Moments of Truth.

What should I look for when buying a customer journey mapping toolkit?

Look for ready-to-use journey map templates, persona and empathy map templates, ideation session frameworks, evaluation matrices, and sample workshop agendas or training slides to run internal sessions; these features include journey map templates, empathy maps, ideation frameworks, and evaluation matrices.

How long should a typical journey mapping workshop take?

Workshop length depends on scope,, but a common practical structure is a half-day to full-day session; a sample agenda breaks activities into 30-minute introduction, 45-minute persona work, 60-minute mapping, and 45-minute ideation/prioritization blocks totaling about 180 minutes, i.e., 30, 45, 60, and 45 minutes.

Should I run customer journey mapping before launching an online sales channel?

Yes; conducting journey mapping prior to a digital transition helps ensure a satisfying and seamless customer experience online, as journey mapping can reveal critical interactions and expectations to address prior to the digital transition.

How can ideation techniques like SCAMPER be used in journey mapping?

Ideation techniques structure creative sessions to generate solutions for prioritized pain points and Moments of Truth, helping teams convert insights into implementable ideas; practical application often uses methods such as SCAMPER and other ideation methods.

Are templates and training slides useful compared to hiring consultants?

Templates and training slides enable internal teams to learn the mapping process, create personas, draft maps, and run ideation workshops themselves while supporting cost-reduction and CX improvements; for example, Flevy's Customer Journey Mapping package includes a training presentation and templates for those activities.
