Reposted by Paul MoranKatherine Wastell @kwastell.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Why do so many strategic initiatives fail? Too often, organisations focus entirely on the target customer experience, without thinking about how they’ll make it real. They want to create a new experience, but their operating model holds them back. 11910

Paul Moran @pjmoran.bsky.social · 15/11/2024One of those days when you can only thank people - friends who knew CPR, paramedics who can defib, pilots who fly helicopters, and the hospital staff able to do everything that follows.

Paul Moran @pjmoran.bsky.social · 12/11/2024Thinking that end to end service maps and more detailed customer journeys can help navigate from systems thinking space eg causal loops, into where interventions could be explored. Then working with something like COM-B to explore those intervention spaces. 2/n 000
Paul Moran @pjmoran.bsky.social · 12/11/2024Currently thinking about systems maps, service maps and customer journey maps and how they help describe the terrain of a service in different but related ways. Can anyone point to examples of systems mapping and service/journey mapping usefully done together? 1/n 332
Paul Moran @pjmoran.bsky.social · 21/10/2024This is why the watercolour pencils and ink pens have been out recently. Celebrating 30 years together with Mrs M this year. 030

And what would happen if we refused to become invisible at work? www.reworked.co/employee-exp...reworked.coThe Brief 'Professional Prime' for Women in the WorkplaceWomen can experience ageism as early as their 40s, when stereotypes about age collide with gender biases.
