This subject focuses on how to improve customer experiences (CX) through effective design. Students will learn how to design highly contextual, personalised and emotional experiences for customers through the use of Human Centred Design (HCD) principles, tools and techniques. Some of the tools and frameworks include: discovery research, customer personas; journey mapping; service blueprinting; hook; jobs-to-be-done; desirability, viability and feasibility (DVF) framework; double diamond framework; concept testing, prototyping and change management.
Customer experience design examines the whole lifespan of a customer’s experience with a brand through multiple physical and digital touch points, rather than focusing just on a single website or a mobile application development. Human Centred Design training is becoming a strong differentiator as the new business models demand an increased focus on customer service and creative problem solving.
