Customer Experience Strategy & Design
We support organisations looking to improve customer satisfaction and delight, grow and evolve their offer, and create working environments where staff feel engaged and motivated to stay. We deliver a unique, comprehensive, and intelligent service blueprint that integrates deep human factors expertise for back-of-house operations with innovative front-of-house design. This holistic approach optimises your service operation for both efficiency and customer satisfaction, delivering a seamless experience for both visitors and staff. We ensure that both sustainability and inclusivity are at the core of what we do, in a way that contributes to positive impact and legacy for client and user alike.
To complement strategies for transforming customer experience we deliver physical and digital design outcomes grounded in the service blueprint. This could entail design of a self-service check-in zone at a transport hub or entertainment venue, addressing a range of user scenarios. Or it might involve developing a web-based application to help colleagues collaborate more efficiently with each other, enabling them to answer more customer queries at an earlier stage in a sales sequence. In each case we keep evidence-led human centred design core to the activities we facilitate and the output we deliver - including using a range of tools and methods for prototyping, testing and iterating with representative end users.
For us, good customer experience design connects across to customer experience strategy in multiple ways, strengthening the overall approach and building a strong narrative rationale that can engage all stakeholders and build buy-in with them.

The benefits we bring to you and why we're different:
A holistic end-to-end approach: from pre-visit information and decision-making, to post-experience feedback and loyalty creation, we consider all elements of a visitor or colleague journey.
Service and behaviour design focus: we specialise in creating sustainable solutions that not only enhance experiences but also drive lasting change in behaviours and organisational culture, ensuring long-term impact. We use research insights and behavioural science to help businesses design interventions that can influence and nudge behaviour change.
User engagement: we work collaboratively with the people who matter most - service users - to ensure their insights shape every aspect of our designs.
Future-proofed investments: our forward-thinking approach ensures spaces and services remain accessible, relevant, and adaptable, and increases long-term value.
Storytelling and engagement - we develop compelling narratives that ties together all elements of the experience. We use storytelling techniques to create emotional connections and engage users.
