Customer Journey maps v. Process modeling
As good as journey maps can be?
Certified Process Professional Masters (CPP-Master) Program
We all need a better picture, one that represents both the outside and the in. A representation that brings a clear view of the customer, their interactions and the resulting internal dialogue across people, systems, process and rules. That is what we have here. Something new. Something shiny. And…. something proven.

In theory, theory is great but in practice theory doesn’t work – Is NPS dead?
Has Net Promoter Score gone passed its shelf life?
On a scale of 1-10 what would you respond?
And would you kindly refer me to a friend?
On a scale of 1-10 what would you respond?
And would you kindly refer me to a friend?
Seriously though the popular NPS (well with certain executive teams) seems to have run its course.
This last year has seen a clutch of leading companies coming to the same conclusion, simply put we have to get more scientific about the Customer Experience.
Share and review the latest observations:
Stop using Net Promoter Score
Net Promoter Score Under Attack

Why Net Promoter Score May Not Align With Business Results

Say what you do, do what you say
Managing customer expectations and creating the experience to deliver it makes good sense.

Why is it then almost an after-thought for most large corporates? At best it seems happen chance.
The way to success is to put the effort into creating successful customer outcomes (SCO) and then managing customers expectations to them.
Craft the associated experience and ensure all the interactions (external and internal) contribute to this SCO.

www.bpgroup.org/certification-by-city.htmlUnderstanding Customer Needs
You have to understand the Customer Need and work backwards into the organisation to ensure everything you do aligns to that need.
And that is not about asking customers what they want – you have to understand the need even when the customer doesn’t know it themselves. Until Apple invented the iPhone 3 none of us knew we needed it.
We call this thinking and the resulting actions Outside-In.

How much do you need to know to know you know you know enough?
There is an industry out there which encourages detailed analysis of the past to understand the future. It didn’t work then, it doesn’t work now.
Stories of generals fighting the last war are legion. So don’t become a victim of Analysis Paralysis.

www.bpgroup.org/certification-by-city.htmlWhy are Lean and Six Sigma failing so badly?
Six Sigma, Lean and the CEMMethod
It’s a confusing world out there. At the last count there were over 19,000 improvement methodologies (Wikipedia) all geared to helping organizations get better at business. So at least there’s always been plenty of choice depending on your particular flavor of the month however one has to ask the question why so many and why do even the better ones fail to help our companies adapt and change?
Regular readers of our stuff will know we can be quite outspoken on this matter, and it’s
best summed up by the phrase “you may be doing things right, but are you doing the right thing?”.
The vast majority of techniques, approaches and methods are misleadingly geared to fixing problems, and essentially getting better at doing things right. That was fine in the 19th and 20th century world where efficiency was king. Not anymore where effectiveness and efficiency are a ‘business as usual’ prerequisite for business success. However just getting better at what you currently do (doing things right) has also become the road to hell of diminishing returns. The harder we try, the tighter we get, the poorer the gain each time around.
Let’s contrast that with doing the right thing.
Here we seek to determine what the right thing is, and in our language it centers on Successful Customer Outcomes (SCOs). And that isn’t about (just) filling forms correctly, tightening bolts or producing widgets. It is a philosophy that seeks to improve our alignment in everything we do towards the SCO. It is geared to understanding Causes rather than fixing effects, and unfortunately again so much of what is called ‘improvement’ is about fixing effects, rather than flushing out the causes of work and the Points of failure (POF).

It is geared to understanding Causes rather than fixing effects, and unfortunately again so much of what is called ‘improvement’ is about fixing effects, rather than flushing out the causes of work and the Points of failure (POF).
The approach we espouse, which we call Customer Experience Management Method (CEMMethod), has a set of principles and philosophy that makes sure everything you do improves the SCO. CEMMethod helps an organization bring their processes, systems, strategy and people into ‘outside-in’ alignment.
Does CEMMethod work?
Absolutely and that’s precisely what allows those leading companies to carry on creating clear water between themselves and the nearest ‘inside-out’ rivals.
Absolutely and that’s precisely what allows those leading companies to carry on creating clear water between themselves and the nearest ‘inside-out’ rivals.
So how could we compare the recent emergence of CEMM with less effective approaches like Six Sigma and Lean? Easy..
Six Sigma – Fixing problems. Doing Things Right.
For example people may not be filling in a form correctly. Six Sigma understands how often, where and what could be done to improve accuracy of the form.
For example people may not be filling in a form correctly. Six Sigma understands how often, where and what could be done to improve accuracy of the form.
Lean – Doing Things Right, and sometimes doing the Right Thing.
Similar to Six Sigma however goes a stage further in removing waste associated with form completion by removing unnecessary steps and sometimes as a consequence negates the need for a form entirely. In doing so occasionally, but not by design, stumbles into doing the right thing.

Both Six Sigma and Lean don’t challenge directly whether the form helps to achieve an SCO. Conversely,
CEMMethod – Doing the Right Thing. Doing it Right, doing it even Better.
Asks whether the form contributes to the achievement of the SCO. If it doesn’t we stop doing this dumb stuff. It is typical to find that a massive amount of work in a CEMM examined process becomes unnecessary and in doing so frees up scarce resource.

The good news is that those ‘outside-in’ success stories can help all of us embrace the SCO and identify and achieve immediate substantive triple crown benefits for our organizations.
