Using the Guest Experience Map®, a leading tool designed by Jesse, the audience learns to create new experiences, or re-invent existing experiences, in three key areas: BEFORE a customer interacts with your business; DURING that customer’s interaction; and AFTER the transaction is complete.

With an extensive collection of best-in-class examples from around the world, the Guest Experience Map® is a truly innovative and interactive approach that helps teams better understand how to design, create and capture more value by creating superior customer experiences.
