The Power of Customer Journey Thinking (Temkin Group Video) (linkedin.com)

Customer journey maps (CJM) are one of the most popular CX tools and a frequent topic of discussion. The gist of the article is that the power of CJMs lies in their ability to help companies design interactions and measurements based on an understanding of the customer’s perspective. This insight, however, does not always require the creation of a map or any extensive research. Organizations can get a great deal of the value of CJMs if employees actively consider customers’ journeys in everything they do.
