Experiences to AVOID!

● Don’t move into the experience space without thinking, and causing damage to your brand and culture.

● Don’t focusing too much on ‘wowing’ customers. Your experience may lack authenticity – it must be real!

● Don’t bring UX in as a (last) step in the process.

● Don’t get stuck in ‘cost to serve’ model which tell you what you can’t do – focus on what you believe you should do!

● Don’t hesitate moving into experiences because your management colleagues don’t get it – they will!

Experience concepts according to Wikipedia

User eXperience (UX) is about how a person feels about using a system. User experience highlights the experiential, affective, meaningful and valuable aspects of human-computer interaction (HCI) and product ownership, but it also covers a person’s perceptions of the practical aspects such as utility, ease of use and efficiency of the system.

Customer service is the provision of service to customers before, during and after a purchase. Customer service is a series of activities designed to enhance the level of customer satisfaction – that is, the feeling that a product or service has met the customer expectation.

Customer relationship management (CRM) is a widely-implemented strategy for managing a company’s interactions with customers, clients and sales prospects. It involves using technology to organize, automate, and synchronize business processes—principally sales activities, but also those for marketing, customer service, and technical support.

Operational Excellence is a philosophy of leadership, teamwork and problem solving resulting in continuous improvement throughout the organization by focusing on the needs of the customer, empowering employees, and optimizing existing activities in the process

.Customer experience is the sum of all experiences a customer has with a supplier of goods or services, over the duration of their relationship with that supplier. From awareness, discovery, attraction, interaction, purchase, use, cultivation and advocacy. It can also be used to mean an individual experience over one transaction; the distinction is usually clear in context.

The term Experience Economy was first described in a book published in 1999 by B. Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore, titled "The Experience Economy". In it they described the experience economy as the next economy following the agrarian economy, the industrial economy, and the most recent service economy.

“Opportunities are never lost; someone will take the one you miss.”
