The 994+ Requirements Workbook
The self-assessment workbook is organized across seven process areas: Strategy Definition, Feedback Collection, Data Integration, Issue Resolution, Governance, Reporting, and Capability Development. Practitioners use it to evaluate current practices, identify improvement priorities, and track progress over time. Each requirement is phrased as a verifiable statement, such as 'Feedback from digital channels is collected at least monthly,' 'Root cause analysis is conducted for all critical journey failures,' and 'A documented escalation path exists for unresolved experience issues.' The workbook supports consistent scoring and provides references to relevant playbook chapters for remediation.
The 20+ Templates
The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word formats, such as the Experience Maturity Scorecard, Feedback Collection Calendar, Journey-Specific Survey Templates, Stakeholder Communication Plan, RACI Matrix for Issue Resolution, Monthly Experience Dashboard, Governance Meeting Agenda, Improvement Backlog Log, and Experience Roadmap Template. These artifacts are designed to be adapted to local environments and support consistent documentation and execution across teams.
