Context:
• This assessment advances the student’s customer experience research skills. User personas for this assessment are required to be data-driven and quantitatively validated.
• Students are also required to conceptualize customers interactingwith a product across several as touch points such as in-store, website, mobile, social media, and email.
• This assessment is designed to develop your generative research skills to build qualitative, data driven personas for your chosen company or product.
• These personas are representatives of the users of your product for whom you are designing an experience for. You will also be assessed on the process you undertake for the identification, analysis and customer research for your product.
Instructions:
You will select one of the following of your own professional or personal interest: product, service, institution or event. This can either be an existing or even a proposed product (i.e. a business idea, a proposed event or even your college).
You are expected to conduct as much field and desktop research as possible into the inner workings of your chosen organization, its industry and its target customers.
Your aim is to apply research tools and concepts towards identifying the challenges and opportunities for achieving a customer experience that is in line with the organizations strategic objectives.
Students are required to complete generative research (in the form of face-to-face consultations or contextual enquiry sessions) and preference research (large sample survey) to produce data-driven and validated user personas. Studentswill also use their collected data to complete customer personas and journey maps.
Use the CEM research tools to answer the questions - What is the current state of the service experience of the product or organization? How does it rate or compare with competitor offerings?
The report should:
• Offer a brief introduction to the industry within which the organization competes and a brief background into the company and its service offering.
• Identify and differentiate 3 customer personas to illustrate and communicate their unique customer perspectives.
• Provide evidence of generative research data using at least 2 of the following:
-At least 5 customer interviews,
-10 completed customer surveys,
-observational data from field research -existing customer data
• Include customer journey maps for 3 different customer profiles demonstrating the customer's experience before, during and after the service/product experience.
• Summarize the results of your research by addressing the current state of the service experience of the product or organization and how the current customer experience rates or compares with competitor offerings?

30% Failed to plan and deliver research accordingly. Less than 3 research sessions with minimal insight into audience segments. Inaccuracies of research, with falsified or missing data. Poor quality personas that havebeen made up. Minimum effort in developing research plan, recruiting participants, sessions and compilation of data. Personas produced with significant inaccuracies. Research plan and recruitment displays student’s effort in wanting to extract insights from respondents. Research generated key CEM issues that were tested in further iterations. Fair-Good persona quality. Well executed research plan and sessions. Resulted in clear customer personas. Iterations of research confirmed and accurate personas developed.

Exceeded the required planning and research activities for this section. Researched a high number of respondents with several iterations and strong research summary from initial data collated. Demonstrated commitment to further generative research until accurate personas were derived.
