are from goods.”

Product Design as Customer Experience
IT adopted it … The next stages
In the 90's in a limited way are service design...
Design started
to become a
mega trend
In the 80's, IT was
engineering centred …
and it showed
Business Actors

11
What is Customer Experience?
Customer experience design is taking the
customer views of the interactions to understand
the emotional bond between the brand and
customers. It requires a common understanding
of the customer journey, then align the company
actions to build emotional bonds.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

12
What is Customer Experience?
It is the collective set of experiences…. on the web,
in store or even tiny little things that companies. It is
about understanding their unmet needs, wants,
capabilities and desires in a deeply contextual level.
And that leads to thoughtful and purposeful use of
technologies, communities and imageries.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

13
Why Customer Experience?
……the answer is pretty simple. Customers
remember and value great experiences that
demonstrate deep understanding and respect
for their needs.
When companies learn how to deliver and
evolve differentiated experiences, they tend to
build strong, enduring customer relationships
and profitable businesses.

14
Questions To Ask
What do we embed “customer empathy” into
everything we do?
How do we create compelling cross-channel
experiences with customers and extended business
partners?
How do we create value from “customer
communities” and bring them into the value creation
process?

28
Why Customer Experience?
Marketing becomes the ultimate social
practice of postmodern consumer culture, it
now plays an important role in giving meaning
to life through consumption.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

29
Why Customer Experience?
“Design is treated like a religion at BMW.”
Fortune Magazine
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

30
Why Customer Experience?
“We don’t have a good language to talk about this
kind of thing. In most people’s vocabularies, design
means veneer. … But to me, nothing could be
further from the meaning of design. Design is the
fundamental soul of a man-made creation.”
Steve Jobs, Apple Computers
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

31
Why Customer Experience?
Meaning does not necessary emanate from the
functional aspects of things. Consumer
experiences of what are seemingly objectives
properties are simply “Cultural Constructions”.

Customer Experience Design
core design principles
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

35
Customer Experience Principles
co-creation of value
Customer experience innovation is a bottom up
process, or ‘tags’ or ‘tag clouds’ (basically the
process of allowing users to create their own
taxonomies that feed a central ‘community
taxonomy). It means the product is not
consumed but created at the time of use
between the user and the system. Use the
experience of customers to create value.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

36
Customer Experience Principles
consistency
The core idea is to make things more user
friendly by means of aesthetic consistency of
style and appearance There is also functional
consistency in terms of meaning and action.
Standards are required to drive both.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

37
Customer Experience Principles
observation
This includes ethnography, framing the
experience design problem in the context or
actual use, instead of asking what people
want, observing what they need. (Contextual
inquiry, observation, ethnography,
participatory design etc.)
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

38
Customer Experience Principles
expectation effect
This refers to ways in which
expectations affect perception and
behavior. When people are aware of a
probable outcome, their perceptions
and behavior are affected in many
ways. Expectation management is a
key part of customer experience
design and delivery.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

39
Customer Experience Principles
exposure effect
When stimuli are repeatedly
presented and, as a result, are
increasingly well liked and accepted.
The strongest effect are seen with
photos, meaningful words, simple
shapes and smaller effects with icons
and people.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

40
Customer Experience Principles
Hick’s law
It states that the time required to make a decision is a function of
the number of available options. The fewer the customers are
trained to perform time-critical procedures, train on the lowest
possible responses for a given scenario. This will minimize error
rates and drives users satisfaction.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

41
Customer Experience Principles
hierarchy of needs
This principle specifies that a customer
experience feature must serve the low-level
needs, before the high-level needs can begin
to addressed.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

42
Customer Experience Principles
immersion
This is a state of metal focus so intense
that awareness of the “real” world is lost,
generally resulting in a moment of joy
and satisfaction. Immersion can occur
while working on a task, playing a game,
reading a book. Example: a modified
sense of time ( long hrs pass by in what
seems like minutes )
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

43
Customer Experience Principles
customer life cycle
All customer experiences progress
through stages of existence and
understanding the implications of each
allow us to understand customer
unmet needs.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

44
Customer Experience Principles
products as nodes
This is about making sure the
experience design takes into account
the wider context of use (other
offerings, other customers), or the
wider context of the offerings.
Customers experience is an
organizations output in one integrated
space.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

45
Customer Experience Principles
mapping
This is about relationship about
controls and their movements or
effects. It is about increasing the ease
of use. Good mapping is primarily a HOME
function of similarity of design, behavior
and meaning
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

46
Customer Experience Principles
Ockham’s razor
Given a choice between
functionality equivalent designs,
the simplest is always preferred.
The idea is unnecessary
elements decrease efficiency and
increase probability of
unanticipated consequences.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

47
Customer Experience Principles
storytelling
This is about creating imageries,
emotions and understanding
through sharing of stories with an
audience. Story telling is powerful
when enhanced through
extended communities through
the power of the networks.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

48
Customer Experience Principles
progressive disclosure
An effective approach for managing
information complexity in which only
the necessary or requested is
displayed at any given time. Making
it easy for customer is often a big
part of customer experience.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

49
Customer Experience Principles
Von Restorff effect
This is about increased likelihood
of remembering unique or
distinctive events . Different in
experience occur when something
is noticeably different from past
experience.
2003 2007 Idris Mootee www.mootee.typepad.com

50
The Customer Experience Design Journey
The customer experience innovation journey is
a nonlinear cycle of divergent and convergent
activities that may repeat over time and at
different organizational levels and both ideas
and resources are required to renew the cycle.
This is the future of marketing.
