Introduction

The first dimension, called "Direction", guides entities through the process of assigning their CX leadership, identifying CX priorities and formulating a CX action plan that is based on a thorough understanding of their as-is state and intended CX aspiration point. This dimension has an institutional outlook and helps create a contextual understanding of where the entity stands today and where it wants to be in the future by considering its agenda of priorities, available capabilities, and future action plan. The direction dimension is divided into 7 sub-dimensions, including: leadership, maturity assessment, customer experience strategy, action planning, measurement, governance, and culture.

Introduction

The model then moves on to the "Design" dimension which focuses on realising the aims defined in the previous dimension by taking the entity through the step-by-step design process required for effectively addressing prioritised challenges and objectives. The direction dimension is divided into 5 sub-dimensions, including: multi-disciplinary teams, problem framing, baselining, ideation and iteration, and experience of the future.


1. Our design teams include members from multiple disciplines, backgrounds, or areas of expertise, for example, experts in user research, data analytics, graphic design, marketing, engineering, software development, and content development.

  • Level 0
  • Always Implemented.
  • Almost Always Implemented
  • Partially Implemented
  • Ad-hoc Implementation
  • No Implementation
  • We invent or duplicate a process through trial and error for each task.

2. We discuss all viewpoints on the main challenges of the service without rushing into solutions by reviewing our underpinning assumptions of all hypotheses related to:

  • What the challenge is,
  • When it happens,
  • Where it happens,
  • Where it happens,
  • What segment(s) of customers is affected by it,
  • Why it is happening (causes),
  • How the future will affect the challenge through any emerging trends/developments in the medium and long term,
  • What factors shape the challenge today and in the future: social, economic, culture

Introduction

These designs are then further addressed in the "Development" dimensions which guide the implementation of a human-centred approach to the process of building a service solution. The direction dimension is detailed through 8 sub-dimensions, including: awareness, iteration, building for effortlessness, security, accessibility and inclusivity, communication and messaging, testing, and deployment.
