How not to do CX – A Northern Rail case study
Frank Fenten
Learning from great customer experiences is easy, but what can we learn from the worst? What if the entire customer journey is deliberately awful? This is my experience of Northern Rail.
In this talk, I’ll deconstruct the customer journey, and look at basic and advanced optimisations based on tools and data already available to Northern. I’ll also look at why any company would optimise for failure and how we could alter that in an environment that we cannot change. What is the psychology of making it bad? What effect does that have on customers and how could we improve the experience even if we can’t change reality Finally, I’ll look at the things that they could do if they actually wanted to be smart.
About Frank
Frank’s been doing web stuff for 20 years. In that time, he’s seen it go from a platform for weird hobbyists into a multi-billion pound industry that your mum uses to do her shopping. Along the way he’s delivered around 700 projects for the likes of Adidas, Coke, Yahoo, GSK and an alphabet soup of government departments. In short, Frank’s been doing UX since before the term existed. He is now Head of Digital for Manchester agency Dinosaur and continues to be driven mad by bad functional design: wherever he finds it.
