Customer journey mapping at SXSW

I was invited by SXSW and General Assembly to present as part of the official conference in 2019. During the previous year, I developed and taught a course on customer jounrey mapping for General Assembly. I used a condensed version of the course as the content for the presentation.

During my 90-minute presentation, I detailed my approach to mapping customer journeys across time, touchpoints, emotions and more.
