Reimagine the future of Ombudsman Services Ombudsman Services were transitioning to a B2B model and wanted to explore the value in data to create an offering that would help influence partner consumer strategies. Its goal was to remodel its footprint to create a new profit centre, whilst optimising the traditional cost centre of the business. But Ombudsman also needed to reach the untapped 90% of its potential audience and required the data for regulation. With no product to support yet, Code was part of a programme of change to redefine the Ombudsman brand, map their end-to-end customer journey and lay the digital groundwork for the future. Understanding the customer experience Code began with a broader look across the Ombudsman Services landscape. This included brand workshops with staff and stakeholders, lab interviews and surveys with customers and user testing of Ombudsman’s case management system. From the insights gathered Code found that: Customers felt the level of information on the website was good but hard to find Customers got lost in the content pages and struggled to find how to make a complaint The usability of its case management system could be improved for both staff and customers To visualise Ombudsman’s service experience, Code mapped out the entire end-to-end customer journey. This helped us step into the mindset of their customers’ needs and create four emotionally driven mindsets within different customer groups. This ultimately changed Ombudsman’s understanding of their customers, and how they engaged with them across thei digital touchpoints. A new complaint making journey After establishing the vision and strategy for digital Code moved to define the visual direction for the brand and execution. Ombudsman needed to clearly communicate their role early in the complaint process and create design journeys to manage user expectations. Code identified key problem areas and themes in the journey, before designing page-level content that allowed customers self-identify what stage of the process they were at. Appropriate questions were used to filter out those not ready to continue the process and gave clear instructions on the next steps. Inclusive design principles throughout With Ombudsman’s services required to be accessible for all, Code helped educate on how to apply inclusive design throughout the website, including how to implement accessibility tools so that customers using their own tools were able to access their services. Code also produced a short animation video to communicate the changes Ombudsman were making across its brand, products and services. Credits: Code Computerlove https://www.codecomputerlove.com/work/
