The quality of prospective student experiences can have wide-ranging impacts, most obviously on recruitment but also more widely on reputation and retention. In an age where digital pervades everything, the challenge of ensuring great experiences is more important, and more complex, than ever. Universities therefore need to be able to analyse and shape student experiences.
In this presentation, we will unpack our use of customer journey mapping (CJM) and show how this translated into the new content and web design of Birkbeck, University of London. We’ll review some of the benefits that can be expected from CJM and discuss how to optimise application of the technique. We will also review some of the common pitfalls and how to avoid them.
