Experience Blueprint in action

Current State Experience Blueprinting – Practical By Design

Cross-Journey

The goal is to map the whole journey to see a holistic view of gaps and opportunities – beginning with customer awareness, moving through discovery, then engagement, and finishing with user loyalty.

 

Cross-Functional

The magic happens when different levels of an organization come together examine a journey from differing perspectives- pain points or opportunities are identified and actioned on.

 

Cross-platform

We examine everything. Breaking down multiple touchpoints, platforms, and systems, we get down to the roots. Regardless if it’s a digital interface, a physical in-person interaction, or an automated communication, our goal is to uncover obstacles and opportunities.

Improving the user experience through Service Design

“The experience your customers have and the systems that produce what they interact with are inextricably linked. You cannot affect one without affecting the other.”

- Your Guide to Blueprinting the Practical Way

Is your experience falling short?

Here’s why the Experience Blueprint workshop may be a good fit: 

Disconnected Touchpoints

While every organization seeks to provide a consistent omnichannel customer experience, the reality is that touchpoints are created and managed by different teams, have different roadmaps, and provide a less than seamless experience for users. The experience blueprint will look at all of these touchpoints together in a single journey moment in order to understand how they harmonize with each other.

Connections are Complex

Today’s omni-channel customer experiences -powered by backend systems, 3rd parties, and teams of employees – are becoming increasing complex. The experience blueprint helps make sense of these systems, touchpoints, and processes by visualizing them in an accessible way, and giving a voice to the “behind the scenes” roles that make the customer experience possible.

Interfacing Isn't Integrating

True collaboration that leads to decisions made between departments is hard to do. Our blueprinting experts will facilitate a guided workshop designed to gather insights from a cross-functional team, so problems can be identified and solved together. A single blueprint workshop only takes a few hours to complete, reaping benefits for the next weeks, months, and even years to come.

The goal?

Deliver a human-centered
user experience

Create Stakeholder Alignment

We’ll facilitate activities and feedback loops that include stakeholders from each part of the system. As a group, we’ll identify, describe, and communicate the insights, critical breakdowns, and the opportunities for improvement.

Map Shared Understanding & Opportunities

Using the Experience Blueprinting method, we’ll visualize each key part of the physical and digital customer journey - and who and what “backstage” components come together to make that moment possible.

Identify Actionable Next Steps

Key moments, roles, processes, or tools will rise to the surface as areas to investigate further. We’ll synthesize all our work together and create recommendations for next steps.

The Bottle Rocket Experience Blueprint Workshop was an active, collaborative, and fun process that helped us uncover multiple focus areas of opportunity within our business across the consumer and employee journey. The workshop brought together key stakeholders from across the business and allowed us to look collectively across our people, processes, tools and technology that power our customer and employee experience journeys. We did the workshop about a year after our website launch, which was the perfect time assess and plan against key opportunities we had.

Bottle Rocket has been a core partner in our digital transformation process from the beginning of our journey back in early 2021 and we look forward to continuing to find ways to improve how we serve our customers and improve our business together.”
