The Challenge
What happens when you need to deeply understand a customer journey over an extended period of time? In this case, identifying how people prepare and plan for a move overseas, what happens during the move as well as further down the track – once they have made the transition to a new country. The goal? Uncovering white spaces for product and service innovation within financial services.
Our Approach
A tricky recruit ensued, with a hunt for migrants in Europe, New Zealand and Australia, who were about to embark on their travel journey.
Research took part episodically – to identify how their journeys tracked over time and their experiences along the way. This created a rich data bank that blended together observations, needs and pain points to address.
Our Impact
After a subsequent phase of concept development, a range of products and services were launched as a result, including international banking centres in airports and a service high for net worth customers.
