The four experiences every company must care about

In general, a customer’s overall experience consists of many small experiences across many different journeys. To keep things simple and manageable, the Experience-Driven Value Creation framework divides a customer’s overall experience into four types of experience.

To become (and remain) The One for your ideal customer, you need to address each of these experiences in a way that your competitors or alternative solutions can’t.
