The Journey Mapping Guidance
• Allows organisations to understand how customers define and experience services from their own point of view
• Defines what needs to be done to simplify a particular area
• Exposes steps which lie outside government control but which hold part of the solution to streamlining the whole journey
• …. And so has the potential to drive out efficiencies as well as improving customer experience
Customer journey mapping is the process of tracking and describing all the experiences that customers have as they encounter a service or set of services, taking into account not only what happens to them, but also their
responses to their experiences.

Police investigation
Reported crime
immediately. Police ‘very good’ – told him what to do and who was coming. Felt secure
Identity parade. No coaching, no
reassurance wouldn’t meet attacker
Barrister not very confidence
inspiring
Drove him home - grateful, but didn’t feel like standard
service
Would report a crime again, because found out defendant had been held for 5 months. But court experience was a ‘waste of time’
Received call from detective
Gave statement in police car –
felt were ‘helping him’
Drove around looking for attacker – ‘waste of time’ as in
marked car Had to go to the
detective – ‘foreign territory’.
Police station ‘disconcerting’
Gave formal statement.
Worried whether
justice would be done. Detective
seemed ‘dim’. Changed the
statement into his own
words
Phone conversations with detective
– ‘kept in touch’
Called up to identify
criminal on computer system seemed
‘efficient’
Identified attacker – ‘felt good, this
will be straightforward’
Few days before trial,
still no information on process
Called Witness Service as
wanted to speak to barrister.
Told to arrive early on the day.
Seemed ‘disorganised’
Pack from Witness Service. Personal contact became formal. No information about process
ahead
Case submitted
to CPS. Unclear
where next contact
from. Had to ask
detective
Didn’t see barrister,
and detective
late
In locked witness room – ‘cut off’
Little contact with anyone – only detective
Didn’t go into court at all on day 1. No information on why. Lack of
information most frustrating thing
Witnesses have to be flexible but
judges aren’t (lunch 12-1).
Annoying
Food terrible – had to go out
Told to come back next day.
Not a big problem
Asked to see
barrister again. Did – but he wasn’t
informative
Called - court room an alien
situation. From a tiny room to a
theatre. Everyone else in
the know
Judge asked if he would like to
sit – only introduction
Jury is a ‘sea of faces’
Accused got off
Got off because he had been identified on computer
system before line-up (which made evidence invalid. Police knew this was a problem, so why didn’t
victim?
Other reason was that a detail of appearance had
changed. Frustrating, ‘knew it was him’
Only communication with detective. Happy to explain
situation
Detective told him ‘You should have said…’ Too late now
Detective gave him background to
accused: first offence, had been held since
arrest. ‘Felt a bit better’
Worried attacker could come to house

Common Measurement: Pros and Cons
Disadvantages and risks

• Difficulty in implementation
• Inability to compare services
• Putting the focus on scores rather than interventions
Benefits and opportunities
• Cross-learning from other services
• Resource efficiency
• Getting started more easily
How can I get insight from the results?
Key Driver Analysis

depth• Define the customer experience in their terms: consider customer journey mapping • Identify key drivers of customer satisfaction and work with stakeholders to prioritise
action • Use customer satisfaction measurement to track progress and provide feedback to
those responsible for making change happen
• Act: the research findings are the beginning rather than the end of service improvement
