This episode of Christopher Brooks' CX Superheroes is more of a masterclass than the common structured format listeners are familiar with. Customer Journey Mapping is one of the most recognised practices in customer experience. The ability to demonstrate the value of mapping is less often seen. Maps can be the catalyst to the savings and the gains made from customer experience. Understanding how to value them and create significance amongst the business is key. Having facilitated and designed over 200 journey maps with organisations, I bring expertise from many sectors and mapping scenarios. In this podcast we cover the following aspects of customer journey mapping:- How to value customer journey maps in business terms- Putting customers at the heart of mapping- What the organisation gains from 'CJM'- Explaining journey architectures, epics and why persona matter- How to keep maps customer focussed and process lightWith future episodes covering journey map design and facilitating 'as is' and 'to be' mapping workshops.

We speak to GDPR expert, financial services leader and all round 'one of the good guys', Simon Hinks. Global CX consultant, mentor and podcast host Christopher Brooks talks with Simon about what responsibilities Customer Experience has when it comes to customers data. Do we ever think about the implied consent when we send out feedback surveys, or do teams map out the customer 'SAR' (subject access request) journey? Or do we assume the CRM, data and compliance team have it covered?Simon helps us understand the potential for getting it wrong and how costly that can be to a company in terms of fines but also a loss of customer trust. "If I can't trust you with my data, why will I trust you with anything else? Anyone in CX should listen to this and find out just how low down the agenda is your data permission considerations, compared to where it should be?Now in its second season, the CX Superheroes podcast series.
