 Learning Objectives

Why do we organize this workshop ?

This workshop gives you the methods to focus on what your customers really want when they are online. These methods are particularly beneficial for large, complex websites and intranets, but also for mobile app development, and soon for implementing chatbots and robotic process automation (RPA).

The first method, Top Tasks Identification helps you clearly identify the top tasks of your customers AND the tiny tasks. It is about developing clear evidence based on data within your organization about what is important—and what is not important—to your customers.

The second method, which the workshop will particularly focus on is how to measure the performance of top tasks using the Task Performance Indicator. You will be thought such techniques as:

  • How to develop task questions—a particularly important skill to develop
  • How to run remote observation sessions of customers attempting to perform the tasks. You will be walked through a step-by-step facilitator guide
  • How to analyze and present results in a way that management can understand and act on

The Task Performance Indicator is driven by two key metrics:

  • Success rate: How many customers are actually able to complete top tasks?
  • Time-on-task: How long does it take customers to complete top tasks on your website or app?

You will be shown how to build a solidly reliable management model around these two essential metrics of the customer experience.

Participants also get a free copy of Gerry's latest book "Transform: The Rebel's Guide for Digital Transformation".
