Clarivate Cited in B2B2C Journey Mapping Reports by Independent Research Firm

Seven steps to highly effective journey mapping for a great customer and partner experience

LONDON, Nov. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT), a global leader in providing trusted information and insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, has been cited by Forrester in their recently published B2B2C Journey Mapping reports. The two reports, B2B2C Journey Mapping: Mapping The End- Customer Experience and B2B2C Journey Mapping: Mapping The Partner Experience, mention Clarivate Customer Experience (CX) Services insights on journey mapping.

In the B2B2C Journey Mapping: Mapping The End- Customer Experience report, Forrester highlights that being transparent and establishing trust are key elements to pulling together a  journey mapping effort.

Clarivate CX Services observes that companies often start with a process map that is internally focused vs. a journey map that documents the customers’ experience.  A Customer Journey Map is a great visual of all the key touchpoints from a customer perspective. The best way to gather this touchpoint information is talking with customers and also reviewing the customer feedback provided through surveys.  Once this is built, then it makes sense to create internal process maps to provide insights on how to improve the customers’ experience.

The B2B2C Journey Mapping: Mapping The Partner Experience report looks into adapting steps to account for partners’ dual roles. Partners (often called agents, dealers, franchisees, or retailers) are similar to employees in that they are responsible for presenting the brand image to consumers. Therefore, partners have to be treated with the same care and respect as customers.

Clarivate CX Services highlights that it is important to gain a complete understanding of the partner ecosystem. Conducting research on the partner experience and incorporating the perspective of the end customer is key to a successful partner experience. Showing the value of the efforts at the end of the process can really help gain buy-in for future projects.

“At Clarivate, we believe that implementing customer experience and journey mapping programs lead to deeper customer insights and increased customer delight. All companies must place customers at the center of their business in order to deliver positive operational and financial outcomes. Every customer touchpoint is an opportunity to delight or disappoint a customer, so knowing what matters most to your customers is key to prioritizing your actions for improvement,” said Kerri Nelson, Chief Operations Officer, Clarivate.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
