Service design - case study - citi bank

 

aim

To understand the customer experience of Citi Commercial banking, across the full client lifecycle and explore opportunities to improve the experience.

Method

Planned, scoped and managed user research activities and resources, to explore the agreed brief. Conducted interviews and walkthroughs with internal employees and customers to understand the customer experience across the full client lifecycle, across two different world regions. Also examined previous research, analytics and customer complaints data.

Created Persona to engage the team with different types of system users and their needs. Mapped findings onto a journey map to demonstrate areas of difficulty for customers. Created a future-state service blueprint to demonstrate the customer impact of recommended opportunities.

OUTCOMES

The findings and artefacts were used to share customer-insights throughout the bank. The pain points and opportunities were shared and prioritised with project teams for future improvements across Citi platforms and products.

ANALYSIS

Research findings were coded and indexed, then mapped into Miro for analysis. Pain points, user behaviours and opportunities were clustered to reveal patterns. These patterns were then further analysed to extract any overarching themes.
