Example questions include: 'Customer feedback is collected at three or more journey stages,' 'Personas are reviewed and updated at least annually,' and 'Service blueprints include backend actions for at least two frontline roles.'
The 20+ Templates
The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word for journey mapping canvases, customer personas, empathy maps, pain point logs, service blueprints, feedback collection grids, improvement trackers, stakeholder interview guides, rollout plans, and executive summaries.
