Create Business Moments with CX Prism
CX Prism Design Thinking is customer-centric digital innovation methodology that constantly challenges the status quo in pursuit of thinking creatively, promoting early idea generation and prototyping — that’s mostly collaborative, playful, and iterative. CX Prism Design Thinking is built on three core foundations when it comes to delivering breakthrough customer experiences.

Empathy (EQ)
Most organizations do not truly understand their customers or prospects. And many organizations do not invest in CX innovations to digitally design "what their customers want". In fact, people don't know what they want until you show it to them. Even you need Design Thinking to build commitment to a new idea.

Design Thinking for Business Moments
Design Thinking enables the discovery of disruptive Pathways during business moments. Understanding various customer journeys, and digital business moments is very critical and important in the digital age. Identifying these transient business moments and linking to CX Strategy and Design is complex, and it requires C-Level engagement.
Design Thinking — A Catalyst
Organizations are heavily involved in execution spending less than 10% on business modeling. There’s insufficient focus on design, planning, and collaboration.Illustrated image shows how CX Prism Design Thinking becomes a catalyst for the discovery of shining business moments.

Wilful Disruption
Disruptive strategies stem from innovation which often centers on Customer Experience (CX). Positioning provides a proven method for framing intent, including disruption and CX innovation.
- Customer Experience : Perceptions and related feelings across touchpoints and interactions
- Disruptor: Effects disruption
- Disruption: Changes expectations and behaviors in a culture, market, industry or process
Use CX elements to frame disruptive intent and test the impact on competition or incumbents
