In my last template series (https://medium.com/the-creative-strategist/template-series-3-visualize-describe-d93c0a960d0c), I wrote about a visualize / describe exercise using a concept called ETA.

This week I thought I would use that same concept to start to break it down and begin to articulate a jobs based journey to show you how to go from concept to service.

  1. It informs a better “moments that matter” journey.
  2. It helps in breaking a concept into a real service.
  3. It can begin to inform further customer research.

Mapping Out the Key Moments

We will use the situation to create the key moments of the journey. Here is a jobs story as a refresher:

When I’m_______(situation)______ asks: where am I & who am I?
