Why are businesses still not onboard with how to work with the customer journey?

3 steps for getting started working with the customer journey
Despite the challenges of getting started with your customer journey, we offer three simple steps, that in our experience can take you from thought to action – and more importantly – create a commercial transition for your organization:
01
Start with what you know
Use your internal, often tacit knowledge to formulate hypotheses about customers and the market in workshops and let this form the basis of further data collection to prove or disprove your hypotheses.
02
Explore the customer journey
Step into the shoes of your customers. Explore the purchasing process, its touchpoints and all the actions and motivations connected to it. Collect qualitative or quantitative data – or both – to find out how existing and potential customers experience your business compared to the competition.
03
Go from insight to action
Prioritize the required actions to improve the customer journey based on the most valuable insights and an effort/value-based evaluation and compile a hands-on plan of implementation.
