Customers are frustrated. Loyalty is eroding. Your frontline hears complaints leadership never sees.

So what’s going on?

Most organizations 𝗺𝗮𝗽 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻s—but never 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝘀.
That’s the difference between process insight and emotional truth.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗮𝗽 𝗜𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹
In nearly every organization we’ve worked with, we see this pattern:
• 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 they’re delivering effort, care, and common sense.
• 𝗖𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 ignored, confused, or undervalued.

That’s the 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗴𝗮𝗽—and it’s often the root of churn, complaints, and lost loyalty.
And it rarely shows up in the original journey map.

Not every touchpoint is created equal.

Some moments carry 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁—what we call “moments of truth.”

• A return that feels like an interrogation
• A billing error that takes four calls to fix
• A delayed shipment with zero communication

These aren’t just friction points—they’re 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁-𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀.

Mapping them requires 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 + 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 + 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁—not just post-it notes.

This is where the “𝗔” 𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗧™ —𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀— comes in.

We go beyond the surface by:
• Collecting both 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗽𝘂𝘁
• Surfacing emotional pain points, not just operational gaps
• Comparing internal intent with external perception
• Validating through 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁
The result? A journey that 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀.

What customers remember isn’t the journey—it’s how they felt along the way.
If your journey map doesn’t reflect emotion, it’s incomplete.
