The following was transcribed from a recent interview on The Agile Brand with Greg Kihlström podcast. Today we’re going to talk about the healthcare customer experience and how customers are shifting their preferences to want better digital experiences. This means that healthcare providers need to keep up with these demands while providing better and more personalized experiences across channels that include both online and offline ones.

Today we’re going to talk about the growing need for businesses to adapt to heightened customer experience expectations. Between a continually changing business environment, to increasingly sophisticated consumers, this presents a need for companies to tackle these challenges from multiple angles and perspectives.

You can’t have a truly successful design without the full team involved, as well as stakeholders, knowing and understanding the problem, and being able to contribute in an appropriate way towards its solution. Thus, there are several components to a creative-friendly process, and I’ll briefly explore this in five parts.

While there are many people more expert than myself in the subject, I happen to know a little bit about ballroom dancing. Aside from a girlfriend in college strongly...encouraging... me to join her in lessons, I shot a documentary on the subject almost two decades ago. Long story, and no, you can’t watch it. That being said, much is made over the creative approach to dancing, but these performances would be nothing without the underlying process and structure.

It would seem that process and creativity are at odds with one another. How, for instance, could a rigid set of rules help inspire great design, great experiences, or new approaches to challenges? In fact, the two can not only co-exist, but work together to create better results and enable teams to be more creative and productive.
