Customer Experience Playbook

CGAP partnered with Janalakshmi, the largest urban microfinance institution in India serving 3 million poor Indian women, and global development advisory, Dalberg, to understand the Janalakshmi customers’ journey and design and test customer experience improvements for them. One of the outputs from this work is this Customer Experience (CX) Playbook, which aims to help FSP staff serving poor customers, to implement customer experience improvements, and ultimately influence their organizations to build a culture of customer-centric innovation.

The CX Playbook is divided into the following eight sections detailing different stages of embedding customercentricity within the organization. Each section contains operating principles and useful tools for each stage. The Playbook also describes typical challenges faced in implementing such projects along with suggested solutions. Use the CX Playbook for either end-to-end CX projects or specific aspects such as user research or CX ideation.
