Remember the last time you booked a holiday online?

How ergonomic was the buying journey?

Did it give you the opportunity to upgrade, make requests, personalise the trip?

After booking, how easy was it to make changes, cancel a flight, book connections and transportation?

Did it offer sundry sales opportunities to you too? Such as champagne on flight, or pre-book tours and excursions?

All the above are examples of projects in this travel giant's roadmap.

Recognising how to bring the 2 together is critical to the success of your role. A lot of what you'll be doing is centred around research and innovation.

In addition, there's real interest in opportunities to improve customer experiences through automation too.

Getting siloed data stacks to combine and communicate, translated into an ergonomic customer solution which reduces pain points and improves digitalautomation.

This is a programme with a 5 year journey ahead.

Kicking off with a £300-500m investment with the aim of creating one of the biggest customer experience transformation programmes on behalf of a business which services 200 locations and tens of millions ofcustomers a year.

At the core is a major digital change. Including technology stack which drives pricing systems, booking engines, reservation management platforms and customer portals.

These changes will connect systems and data in a way they've not been able to do to date. Giving so much opportunity to create new experiences, services, customer management opportunities and tons more. Resulting in one of the largest transformations incustomer centric digital capabilities the business has ever delivered.

Drawing up the strategy for measuring performance of these concepts, including A/B testing, presenting both business and customer benefit to senior leadership for approval and sign off to be scaled and rolled out.
