• Better Experiences. Better Business.

    Clarity, structure and momentum for your Customer Experience programme

Welcome to Empathyce, the empathetic Customer Experience consultancy

Practical support to help you and your teams develop and manage a Customer Experience programme – one that leads to a stronger business through better experiences for customers and employees.

We take a structured yet adaptable approach in order to create CX programmes that are strategically aligned, powerfully engaging and commercially accountable.

Together we’ll find the starting point, build the momentum and make it part of the culture.

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 – it’s what really drives that value and the feedback we’ve had has been brilliant. Thanks again!

Customer Experience & Passenger Experience

Consultancy services 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:

Customer Experience Programme Management

Organise the building blocks that help you earn the right to people’s loyalty and advocacy

CX Culture & Strategy  | CX Maturity Assessments  |  Align experiences to brand promises    |    Journey Mapping    |   Voice of the Customer & Employee   |   Measurement   |   Cross-functional CX support    |   Employee Experience & CX Training    |    Employee Engagement    |    Organisational design

“Genuine expertise, empathetically imparted by someone like Jerry, should automatically be part of the way we do business”

Customer Experience Speaking

Workshops, presentations and engagement sessions

From 15 minutes at your team meeting or strategic retreat to three days of immersion – tailored sessions to involve and engage teams so they understand what CX means to them, how it works, why it’s important, best (and worst) practices and how they can contribute.

Customer Experience and Accessibility

Improving experiences for people with physical and/or hidden disabilities

Audits and Assessments    |   Empathy training for front-line teams    |   Empathetic and insightful Journey Mapping   |   Stakeholder engagement

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 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.

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.

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!!!

New book!

“How to” – Customer Journey Mapping

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.

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.

Because it’s not easy:

Here if you want to talk

Things can often be pretty challenging. A lone voice. Politics that say the right thing but then shy away from acting on it. Slow progress brings uncertainty, frustration and self-doubt. Perseverance and resilience are the order of the day.
