Description
The Journey Mapping Playbook: A practical guide to preparing, facilitating and
unlocking the value of customer journey mapping
A valuable guide in helping you build stronger customer experience programmes by developing effective customer experience strategies.
Customer journey mapping is a vital tool used by Customer Experience professionals around the world.
