Great processes may elicit delight. Terrible processes likely elicit frustration. <strong>Opportunity lives at the intersection of problems, people, and pain!<\/strong> Understanding your customers&#8217; <strong>CURRENT<\/strong> journey with <strong>CURRENT<\/strong> alternatives may reveal windows of opportunity where you can make things better.<\/p>\n<p>You must complete both pages of the customer journey template provided below. Begin with the customer persona you described in the previous Startup Step (or a new one if you want to change your idea), and <u>use research and observation\/experience<\/u> to describe what they experience with ONE PARTICULAR SOLUTION (the one you think they&#8217;d be most likely to use) when faced with ONE PARTICULAR USE SCENARIO\u00a0(i.e., jobs-to-be-done in some setting). You must do this for five phases of their journey:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When they first became AWARE of their alternative (<strong>think about marketing<\/strong> &#8211; how would someone first learn about this alternative, was it a fun experience (e.g., most Super Bowl ads), part of a routine (popup ad, end-cap displays in stores), etc.<\/li>\n<li>how they ASSESS the quality\/helpfulness of the alternative (<strong>think about trustworthy, easily compared information<\/strong> such as food labels versus sketchy, unreliable information such as provided with nutrition supplements &#8211; are people confident they know what they are getting? Is it easy to pick the best alternative?)<\/li>\n<li>how they make a PURCHASE (<strong>think about the point of sale<\/strong> such as a website, storefront, etc. &#8211; things like user interface design and interior d\u00e9cor\/signage may be important),<\/li>\n<li>what the USE EXPERIENCE is like (<strong>think about face-to-face or hands-on experiences &#8211;<\/strong> unboxing, instructions, ease of use, performance, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>and what the POST USE experience is like (<strong>think about<\/strong> <strong>cleanup and<\/strong> <strong>maintenance<\/strong> &#8211; stuff to fill out, clean, store, etc.).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the second page you must characterize:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>how these experiences make your customer persona feel (delighted, indifferent, frustrated, etc.),<\/li>\n<li>describe why poor processes are not better, and<\/li>\n<li>how you might improve things to make those processes delightful (this is very important &#8211; it can become a &#8220;to do&#8221; list for designing your &#8220;better&#8221; solution).\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is a relatively complex assignment because it is multi-faceted. Let me offer a few important tips:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Remember that this is NOT a description related to YOUR IDEA. You are describing how ONE PERSON (persona) interacts with <strong>ONE<\/strong> CURRENTLY AVAILABLE SOLUTION.<\/li>\n<li>USE RESEARCH!!! Look at alternatives online and look at reviews and comments. Google reviews for the current alternative you&#8217;re describing. ASK PEOPLE you think experience this problem what they currently use, when they use it, and what they like\/don&#8217;t like about the experience (i.e., customer discovery interviews). Do the work so you&#8217;ll be taken seriously!<\/li>\n<li>This is easier if you think of each column\u00a0 like you are filming scenes in a movie &#8211; what happens when your customer first becomes aware (e.g., sees a TikTok post?) of this solution? What happens when they use it? etc&#8230; If you can use your empathy to &#8220;see&#8221; the action, facial expressions, emotions, etc., you should be able to fill this out with meaningful, helpful descriptions.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s OK to leave a cell or two blank if you don&#8217;t think filling them out makes sense, but you should be able to fill out all or almost all of these if you close your eyes and create &#8220;mini-movies&#8221; of your customer interacting with the current alternative you selected.<\/li>\n<li>On the second page your are asked to suggest barriers to delightful experiences and ways you could improve those experiences. It&#8217;s OK to leave a couple of those blank if the current experiences in particular phases of the journey are awesome (and therefore hard to improve &#8211; e.g., Amazon&#8217;s one-touch purchasing process).<\/li>\n<li>I reviewed the use of this in Module 7 in this lesson, starting around the 7-minute mark if you&#8217;d like to review what I had to say about it:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TWO DIFFERENT COPIES \u00a0PLEASE ANSWER IN THE SAME DOCUMENT https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/10NLPREvuO-w2yjNeqW0_0T8Wz__JKXEv\/view?usp=drivesdk Instructions Open Customer Journey PowerPoint template (two pages) and follow the instructions for enriching your description of what your customer persona experiences when engaged with CURRENT ALTERNATIVES &#8211; Customer Journey Template &#8211; Current Situation Verion.pptx\u00a0 \u00a0 THIS ASSIGNMENT IS CHALLENGING.
