Description

In the digital-first world, businesses are transitioning from transactional models to creating memorable, personalized customer experiences across physical and digital (“phygital”) landscapes. This course explores the strategies, tactics, and methodologies of Customer Experience Design (CXD) as a critical component of digital sales and marketing.

Students will learn how to design and manage engaging, seamless, and frictionless experiences that differentiate brands, drive customer loyalty, and foster incremental revenue growth. The course focuses on the importance of creating holistic customer journeys that integrate digital technologies and human-centered design principles.

Key Focus Areas

  • Understanding the Experience Economy: Explore how industries like retail, entertainment, and financial services create value through personalized, permission-based experiences.
  • CXD Strategies for the Phygital World: Learn to orchestrate customer interactions across physical and digital touchpoints, ensuring alignment with brand values and goals.
  • User Experience (UX) vs. Customer Experience (CX): Differentiate between UX/UI design and the broader CX value proposition, emphasizing the role of each in digital engagement.
  • Customer Journey Mapping: Identify critical customer touchpoints and design low-effort, high-impact processes that encourage purchases, repeat business, and brand advocacy.
  • Measurement and Feedback: Analyze methodologies for tracking customer satisfaction and experience quality using digital tools like analytics platforms, CRM systems, and social listening tools.
  • Governance and Culture: Examine how organizations integrate CXD into their culture, ensuring consistency and alignment across all departments.

Practical Applications

Students will work on case studies and projects across six core CXD disciplines: Strategy, Customer Understanding, Design and Delivery, Measurement, Governance and Culture.

By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the tools and knowledge to design transformative customer experiences that drive brand differentiation and digital marketing success.
