NEWS STORY

Transforming Insights into Action: Join Our Journey Management Course


Journey maps are more than just tools for workshops. When properly structured and utilized, they become a powerful, interconnected system that fosters organizational growth and customer-centric transformation. Whether you’re new to journey mapping or have years of experience, there’s always more to learn about turning these maps into a reliable framework for managing customer and employee experiences.



That’s where our upcoming course, Journey Management or Journey Map Operations, comes in. Taking place on December 10–12, 2024, this intensive three half-day training will empower you to master the art of transforming journey maps into strategic tools that drive meaningful change. Taught by SDN Accredited Master Marc Stickdorn.




 

What is Journey Management?


At its core, Journey Management is about more than creating visual customer journeys. It’s about building a scalable system that helps your organization stay agile and aligned with customer and employee expectations. By adopting this approach, organizations can achieve:


  • Up-to-Date Maps: Maintain an always-accurate hierarchy of journey maps.

  • Data Repositories: Consolidate past research, initiatives, and journey maps into a single source of truth.

  • Project Coordination: Align CX/EX projects across teams for unified impact.

  • Knowledge Leverage: Access previous insights to avoid reinventing the wheel.

  • Cross-Silo Collaboration: Break down organizational silos and build stronger connections.


These elements not only streamline operations but also act as a catalyst for transformation in larger organizations, turning customer-centric efforts into a journey-centric culture.




 

Who Should Attend?


This course is tailored for:

  • CX and EX professionals looking to elevate their impact.

  • Service designers aiming to integrate journey maps into operational workflows.

  • Organizational leaders eager to create cross-functional alignment and foster collaboration.


 

What You'll Learn


Through expert-led talks, interactive workshops, and live Q&A sessions, participants will explore:

  • How to set up and govern journey management systems.

  • Best practices for using journey maps as dynamic tools rather than static artifacts.

  • Techniques to connect past projects and build on existing data.

  • Strategies for embedding journey management within organizational culture.


This hands-on experience ensures you'll leave with actionable knowledge, ready to transform how your organization approaches customer and employee experiences.


 

Why Now?


Organizations often face the challenge of maintaining consistency across their CX/EX initiatives. Without a centralized system, valuable insights are lost, projects become disjointed, and silos deepen.


Journey Management offers a solution by turning journey maps into a connective tissue—linking initiatives, data, and teams. As a result, organizations gain clarity, alignment, and the ability to create sustainable impact.


The time to adopt this mindset is now, especially as the demand for integrated customer and employee experiences continues to grow.
