Forum Exercise
Before continuing, you will need to complete the first part of the Forum exercise where you describe a company or industry that needs innovation.
Then for this assignment, you will provide a more in-depth analysis based on the chapter readings (Six Myths and the Classic Traps readings), and you will create two Customer Journey Maps to help identify problems and innovative solutions for this company or industry.
In case you missed it, here’s the reading on Customer Journey Maps.
The reading includes an example assignment, however, please follow the instructions as provided below.
