Organizing and accessing qualitative customer data in a clear format is difficult, especially as research findings evolve and new data yields new learnings. Does your business:

  • Integrate different kinds of assets — videos, images and documents — into its customer journeys
  • See current customer journeys as a starting point to define future-state experiences
