Customer Experience definition
A Customer Experience is an interaction between
an organization and a customer as perceived
through a Customers conscious and subconscious
mind. It is a blend of an organization’s rational
performance, the senses stimulated and emotions
evoked and intuitively measured against customer
expectations across all moments of contact.

The Subconscious mind…
The subconscious mind
processes 200,000 times more
information than the conscious
mind, without us having to focus
on it.
It does that processing before our
eyes have even recognised the
person or object.

What are the subconscious signals your
organization giving to customers?

we think you will

Your coffee by putting
you name on it.

What is an Emotional Signature®?
Following two years of
research independently
vetted by London Business
school we have identified the
emotions that drive and
destroy a Customer
Experience. We call this an
Emotional Signature®.
This was revealed in our
book (see opposite) launched
in 2007. Since then we have
progressed and improved this
process dramatically.

What are the 20 Emotions the affect business value?
• The 2 years of baseline research
produced the framework against which we
will compare your experience.
• The baseline model identified 20 emotions
clustered into 4 hidden factors and that
drive/ destroy value for business.
12

What does it do?
• Identify key rational and emotional
factors in the company’s experience
• Illuminate the conscious and
subconscious levers of value for the
business
• Statistically prove which attributes of a
Customer Experience drive or destroy
value
Emotional Signature is the first and
only robust fit-for-business purpose
measurement system to:
Emotional Signature identifies the value levers
you can pull in your customer experience

How do we find out what drives value in the experience?
Stimulus:
the attributes of the
experience the
business controls
Response:
The internal
emotional response
the customer has,
often subconscious
Effect:
The value outcomes
the business is
interested in
impacting
We use Structural Equation Modelling (SEM)
1. It gets at causation not just correlation
2. It finds the levers (root causes) of value in the experience
We use a three stroke model: Stimulus – Response - Effect

Structural equation modelling (SEM)– causality in
the today experience
In the survey, customers were asked to rate
aspects of their customer experience (what
we call attributes) on a 0 to 10 scale.
Using SEM (an analytical tool) the links
between touch points, emotions and
values you were interested in were
identified.

Typical Emotional Signature Output:

Workshop to define touch points of the Experience
Touch Points
• Availability of card that meets my needs on
Company A website
• Call centre advisors helpfulness
• Call centre advisors knowledge
• Advisor knowledge when activating my card
• Advisor helpfulness when activating my card
• Ability to resolve my issues at first point of
contact
• Call centre advisor understands my needs
• Length of time on hold before call is
answered
• Knowledge of call centre staff
• Attitude of staff in call centre
• Video on web site explaining account opening
procedure
• Web site acknowledges me on return
• Offer free bag of Jelly babies when getting a
new card
• Deliver the card in a golden case.
Value Indicators
• Retention
• Net Promoter
• Customer Satisfaction
• Brand
• Repeat business
• We work with you to develop these…

This provides a more detailed explanation of each of these
boxes.
Desired and affects current value (conscious)
• Touch points that are desired and currently drive value.
These are the most important.
• These touch points are the conscious drivers of value.
Customers are consciously aware of these touch points.
This has implications about how you overtly
communicate to Customers about these.
• These touch points are typically marketing and
operational levers.
Not desired but does affect current value (sub-
conscious)
• Attributes that are not explicitly desired but currently
drive value.
• These attributes are the subconscious drivers of value.
Customers are unaware of the effect of these attributes
on their attitude or behaviour.
• These attributes are typically the operational levers the
company should manipulate. However, these should not
be emphasised in the Customer Experience
Desired but does not affect current value (deceptive)
• attributes that Customer desire but they do not drive
value today.
• These are potential areas of opportunity for the
organization.
• Caution should be used, as not all of these attributes will
necessarily drive value tomorrow, they could just
increase costs.
Not desired and does not affect current value
(invisible)
• attributes that are not explicitly desired by customers
and do not currently drive value.
• The attributes should be challenged. Why do you need
them?
• These attributes potentially represent cost to the
business if significant resource is spent implementing
them.
