• Boarding?
• Flight?
• After-care?
@hannahjthorpe
Will adding smart-watch compatible technology and maps of the airport and check-in gates help those who find the
airport experience stressful?
@hannahjthorpe
Will it make those who value the in-flight experience most worse off to be able to use
a smart-watch in the airport?

How much difference can you make at stage? What are the costs involved to impact? Is change possible?
Where does the competition differentiate themselves?Do your competitor’s USPs sit in the same stage? If so, why?
@hannahjthorpe
Opportunity Cost:The loss of an alternative when you make a choice
In marketing, nearly always caused by limited resources
@hannahjthorpe
Making a Choice
@hannahjthorpe
The Impact Model:A means of comparatively scoring the potential impact a change will have upon overall customer experience
@hannahjthorpe
Basic Metrics
Stage Score:Mark all options for change based on how much time the user spends at each stage
(1 = least time, 4 = most time)
Scope of Change:How big a difference will this make to current
process? Mark comparatively
(1 = least difference, 5 = most difference)
Competitors:How many of your core competitors’ USP
is at this stage?
@hannahjthorpe
The Equation
@hannahjthorpe
Customise
Market Research
Utilise market research and surveys to understand which stages customers think you’re succeeding at so you can focus on weaker areas.
Speed of Impact
Multiply this by how quickly the change will be felt by consumers; will they notice immediately? If so, score 5, but if impact will be lagging then 1.
Resource
Multiply competitors by resource level required to implement the change in order to understand how this works for your internal teams.
Negative Impact
Deduct any negative impact it may have upon other elements of the business, e.g. Will staff be happier if they have to work longer hours?
