Webinar Description
Organisations are increasingly focussing on projects to create and enhance their ‘digital’ presence whilst simultaneously enhancing the level of ‘customer experience’ that they provide. Yet too many of these projects are driven purely from an internal perspective, with little or no input from actual customers. Websites, apps and portals become bloated with content, lists and widgets, as we seize upon every possible idea or suggestion. If a problem later emerges that a customer cannot find something, then we respond by providing more content and functionality… perhaps an FAQ, or a set of navigational instructions. In doing so we’ve at best added a sticking plaster, and at worst we have compounded the problem further.

Perhaps rather than focussing on ‘digital transformation’ and projects that ‘implement and forget’, we should be transitioning to ‘digital as usual’. A new way of thinking about our digital portals, our content and crucially our customers and other stakeholders. After all, digital is never done.

In this webinar, Gerry McGovern, author of ‘Top Tasks: A How to Guide’ will give an overview of the Top Tasks approach to understanding what really matters to customers. During the webinar you’ll hear:

What ‘Top Tasks’ are, and why they matter
The common fallacy of focussing on ‘tiny tasks’ that customers really don’t care about
How to identify Top Tasks
Tips for measuring and monitoring the effectiveness of tasks
Why ‘digital is never done’
