Renewed Partnership with UXPressia
I am pleased to announce that Michael Brandt CX-Excellence has entered into a renewed partnership with UXPressia, the customer journey mapping and journey management platform.
Those of you who have worked with me over the years will know that UXPressia has long been my tool of choice for bringing customer journeys to life. After a short interlude, I am delighted to be working closely with the team again, and to once more recommend UXPressia as my preferred journey mapping platform across my training programmes, workshops, bootcamps and consultancy engagements.
Customer Journey Management sits at the heart of any serious CX programme. Done well, it turns abstract strategy into something teams across an organisation can see, discuss and act upon. UXPressia gives practitioners a structured, collaborative environment to do exactly that, and it pairs naturally with the methods I teach.
As part of this partnership, participants in selected training programmes may be granted trial access to the platform, giving them the chance to work with the tool hands-on and judge its advantages for themselves rather than taking my word for it.
If you would like to explore how Customer Journey Management, VoC or journey management could strengthen your own CX programme, I would be glad to hear from you.
