CASE STUDY
Agile delivery based on real customer feedback
The digital champions took feedback from customers on board when working on the new enhanced site . Customer feedback showed them that the site had too much jargon , used language that didn ’ t relate to the customer , calculators were hard to use and finding the information they were after was difficult . Taking note of this , KBC worked with WONDR to define eight personas with needs and goals ; and offered key insights for each . It then mapped out the steps on the journeys and designed an experience that would maximise good emotions , eliminate pain points and feel familiar to the customer – but they wanted more and found ways for the brand to shine as part of the digital experience .

By implementing the Liferay digital experience platform as a foundation , they managed to get a more up-todate starting point for the website ’ s development . This offered faster speed , better accessibility and mobile support out-of-the-box .

They then introduced better practices for documentation , accessibility and data quality management in the team . This led to a higher-quality experience and vastly improved usability , because they continued
