The Importance of Managing Complexity
A key factor vital to building a clear picture of how your organization's processes impact the customer journey is the management of complexity. For example, a complex talent acquisition process can negatively impact the applicants’ experience and hence reduce an organization’s ability to attract talent. Similarly, complex customer service processes can facilitate both churn or retention.
To allow a systematic assessment of customer journey complexity and its interaction with process complexity, we are introducing a complexity score for journey models.
Complexity Scoring for Single and Multiple Journey Models
Whether you consider a single journey model or multiple models, SAP Signavio’s journey complexity scoring helps you with answering the following questions, and more.
Single Journey: What are the central properties that make my journey complex?
Answering this question helps you identify key areas that may negatively impact the customer experience. For example, a journey that has many stages and is supported by generally complex processes can potentially be shortened to reduce churn.
Multiple Journeys: Why are some journeys -- or certain properties -- more complex than others?
Answering this question helps you benchmark one journey against another. For example, if a sales employee's onboarding journey is much more complex in one region than in another, this may indicate a lack of process standardization.
