            Who gets looped into CX automation too late?

                How to create a customer experience journey map
                Customer journey mapping is a powerful tool for businesses to understand and improve customer experience, but omnichannel interactions pose challenges.
            
        
    
    
            A journey map isn’t just a picture—it’s a plan.
I shared with CX Dive how to:
Pinpoint friction points,
Align teams, &
Create CX that’s intentional.
Journey mapping isn’t fluff—it’s function.
