Thanks Jerry – the Customer Journey Mapping workshop you ran for all the airlines was brilliant – so much value here for any airline wanting to look at their customer experience – the feedback we’ve had has been brilliant. Thanks again!

Customer Experience & Passenger Experience

CX Consultancy, training and professional development

Being the one who is charged with embedding a more customer-centric culture isn’t easy. It takes bags of resilience and a whole heap of perseverance especially when it comes to demonstrating the value of CX to others.

But, the rewards in personal pride and commercial success are worth it. So if I can help set the vision, give structure and momentum to your planning and secure buy-in from the most sceptical of stakeholders, do get it touch. Here are some of the ways I could support you:

Jerry has been fantastic to work along side providing great insight, expertise and guidance with a considered and kind approach. He hasn’t shied away from challenging us or let the frustrations of ‘CX in reality’ distract him from supporting our project deliverables. He has provided real value and left a well placed team ready to pick up the CX mantle following his coaching and guidance.

Kate Birtles, Customer Service Director, Biffa

Customer & Passenger Experience – strategy, programme management and CX awareness training

I share the passion for how a focus on Customer Experience leads to better commercial outcomes. If my team and I can help, we’d love to learn how you want things to be different and why.

Whether it’s through journey mapping or a CX maturity assessment, strategic planning or employee engagement, we’ll help understand how you fit into your customers’ lives, what you need to do differently and how to make that happen.

We know customers’ needs, fears, expectations and priorities are changing all the time. So too, perhaps, your business model, leadership team and strategic priorities.

If you just need a sounding board or a more structured form of support please get in touch.

Better experiences, better business.

Thanks Jerry! It was great to have you and all your expertise with us – you’re awesome

Gemma Maidlow, Head of Product Solutions, 15below (airline communications)

Thank you Jerry, it was a great couple of days, lots of engagement, enthusiasm and fantastic ideas

Lisa Olsen, Commercial Director, Liverpool John Lennon Airport, UK

Jerry, when you tell it like it is you’re a less sweary version of Gordon Ramsay!

Debriefing an airport team on the reality of their Passenger Experience

Our experience of working with you couldn’t be any better.  We really do appreciate all the work and effort you put into making the session as fun, informative and valuable as possible.

Rachel Besant, 15below (airline passenger communications)

Just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you so much for all your support and coaching – I couldn’t have passed without you!!!

Danni Mitchell, Rant & Rave (on becoming a CCXP)

l learnt a lot from Jerry, not just his expertise on customer experience but also how he makes the whole journey you have with him insightful and full of advice. I am grateful to him, one of the most empathetic persons I ever worked with.

Case study feature:

Airport Passenger Experience

A combination of customer journey mapping and terminal walk-throughs has helped airports prioritise what they should do next. And, it’s helped teams from all parts of the airport eco-systems understand more about what they do.

Case study:

Airline and Airport Disruption Management

Most of the time, flights are on time and suffer little disruption. However, when schedules do get hit, passengers’ expectations of how the airline and airport teams will help them are sky-high. This 3-day workshop with Hawaiian Airlines and in conjunction with global communication specialists 15below, sought to understand their guests’ perspective, listen to what colleagues had to say and journey map the experience. At the end of the workshops the airline had a roadmap of actions and a better appreciation of what it’s like at times of disruption for colleagues as well as guests.

Contact Jerry if you would like more information and a PDF of the case study.

Based on nearly 20 years of mapping customer journeys I’m excited to share what I’ve learned, what caught me out and what works. For anyone running their first journey mapping workshop the book has tools, tips and templates on preparing, facilitating and – crucially – how to get value from it afterwards.
