Asiakaskokemuksen johtaminen kehittyy hitaasti mutta varmasti. Aikanaan lähdettiin pitkälti ajatuksesta, että asiakaskokemus on sama kuin asiakaskokemuksen mittaaminen. Asiakasta pitää oikeasti kuunnella ja kuulla, ei vain mitata organisaation sisältä käsin.
Sirte Pihlaja ja Tuomo Talvitie keskustelevat podcastissa, mitä asiakaskokemus oikeasti on, mitä kaikkea siihen liittyy ja mikä on yritysten ja organisaatioiden minimivaatimus digitaalisuuden suhteen? Saat myös vinkkejä ensimmäisiin steppeihin asiakaskokemuksen analysointiin ja parantamiseen.
Lopuksi Sirte avaa mielenkiintoista LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® -konseptia, joka auttaa strukturoimaan ja mallintamaan asiakaskokemusta aivan uudelle tasolle.

What is the role of PLAY in business? BIG time. We all need to find out how to tap into the inner child within us and become more creative for businesses to grow. There’s no other way to come out of this crisis than to allow ourselves space to think differently. We can’t go back to the old, so let’s embrace the new normal.
Sirte Pihlaja, the CEO of Shirute, is a Finnish CX/EX expert, who has been evangelising CX all over the world during the last 25+ years. Her passion is using creative methodologies in designing great CX and EX. That is why she wrote in the best-selling Customer Experience 2 book about customer-centric culture and on the Role of Play in Business. She introduces LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® - a methodology that LEGO created for themselves when they needed to renew their business, as they were facing significant financial difficulties - not very much unlike the present.
Tiedätkö, mikä merkitys leikillä ja luovuudella on asiakas- ja työntekijäkokemuksen sekä kannattavan bisneksen kehittämisessä?
Luovuus, leikki ja kyky ajatella laatikon ulkopuolelta ovat kriittisiä menestystekijöitä mille tahansa organisaatiolle, joka on kiinnostunut asiakkaistaan. Näitä kyvykkyyksiä tarvitsee myös jokainen työntekijöidensä hyvinvoinnista välittävä yritys. Jos siis teillä halutaan paitsi selviytyä, myös menestyä nyt ja tulevaisuudessa - kannattaa kuunnella mitä ajatuksia jaoin aiheesta webinaarissamme.

In this episode we meet up with Sirte Pihlaja to hear about the CX value of Lego Serious Play (LSP). The creative workshop technique is proving a hit with corporate audiences enabling colleagues to unlock their inner creativity and build better solutions.
As CEO of Shirute in Finland, Sirte has trained to become a specialist at running Lego Serious Play workshops.
We hear how the technique is helping companies to tackle all manner of challenges, but it proves particularly useful to visualise customer experience scenarios and improvements.
Sirte, along with the CX Superheroes host Christopher Brooks is a contributor to the latest edition in the Customer Experience series. Sirte covers LSP in her chapter in Customer Experience 2.
Sirte is another of my fellow co-authors, whose chapter talks about CX and Lego Serious Play! Sirte is based in Finland, running a CX Consultancy called Shirute: https://www.shirute.com/en
In this episode, we talk Lego (which I'm personally obsessed with), the D.O.T principles and how we can do more to understand young people.
This is one of my favourite episodes, based on not only the topics, but the experiences, we can all make in our own businesses and lives.
