OUR PERSPECTIVE

EXPERIENCE THINKING

Experience Thinking Perspective

The experience is not created in a vacuum or as an afterthought

To enhance and innovate customer and user journeys, four key experiences must be addressed: Brand, Content, Product, and Service. Typically, all four require thorough research, strategic planning, and design in close collaboration with stakeholders, customers, and users.

Brand

Defining a compelling brand involves a deep discovery process to articulate your vision and craft the qualities you wish to be associated with your organization. This ensures that your brand promise reflects not only your aspirations but also the perceptions and emotions your audience develops over time.

The team provided professional advice and thought-provoking questions to shape the purpose and future direction of my goals. It was an absolute pleasure working with Akendi!

content experiences
Match user expectations

Content

In an era of abundant information, Content has become the product. Leveraging diverse media, big data, AI and machine learning allows us to interact in ways that resonate with users. Understanding how users think enables you to align with their preferred methods of discovering information. Designing Content to enhance the Product and Service experience is more crucial than ever.

product experiences
Involve users early and often

Product

Since your product or service will eventually be used by your customers, why not involve them in the design process from the start? Engaging users early allows you to test whether the flow and interactions align with your vision, ensuring an intentional and successful launch. Organizations that blend business, customer, and user input effectively place the spotlight on creating an exceptional experience.

service experiences
The big picture

Service

Service design integrates every touchpoint of the experience. As people frequently interact with your organization through the services they receive, it's essential to design the service as a seamless end-to-end experience. This is where brand, content, and product experiences are intertwined, ensuring they function harmoniously and effectively as a unified whole.

Akendi gave us greater insight into our users, their customer journeys and their behaviours, allowing us to better position ourselves to respond to their needs in a way that met their expectations.
