It is structured as a pyramid with three levels, each representing a different aspect of the customer experience.

how does 
the method work?

The three levels of the pyramid range from useful, to easy, to enjoyable:

  1. Useful: The lowest level, the base, focuses on the basic needs of customers. These needs include product quality, reliability, ease of use, and other functional aspects that customers expect from a product or service. It is important that companies meet these functional needs in order to build trust and credibility with their customers.
  2. Easy: The second level is the level, which focuses on a simple and smooth application. Less is often more here. Remove all unnecessary steps in the customer journey and make this as simple as possible.
  3. Enjoyable: The third level of the pyramid is the emotional level. This level deals with the feelings and emotions that customers associate with a product or service. Companies can improve the emotional level of the customer experience by creating positive experiences that resonate with customers on a personal level.

Step by Step Guide

There are various variations of the Customer Experience Pyramid. The LIH-Canvas, which is provided here, guides you through the three levels in the form of three questions:

1

Think of a current service you provide and ask step by step what is useful, easy and fun about this solution based on the questions.

2

1st level: Are customers achieving their goals?

3

2nd level: Is the process intuitive?

4

3rd level: Was it fun?

5

When you're done, you can also go through this exercise notionally for a solution 5 years from now.
