A customer journey map is a simple idea that has become overly complicated. At its core, a customer journey map tells the story of a customer’s experience.

This post originally appeared on the CCO 2017 website.

The first step in a successful Customer Experience endeavor (or for that matter, any business proposition) is to find out what’s wrong.

This week on our Friends on Friday guest blog post my colleague, Stephan Delbos, writes about the importance of doing more than satisfying customers, you must delight them. I agree!
