CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The IT Certification Council announced the winner of their 2019 Innovation Award, ISACA. ISACA is a nonprofit, global association serving technology audit, assurance, governance and cybersecurity professionals. ISACA submitted its proposal titled “Innovation Name: Using Journey Mapping to Improve and Redesign the Customer Experience.”
This annual award serves to recognize leadership initiatives that have positively impacted a company or the IT certification industry. ISACA’s innovative approach using journey maps to improve its members and customers’ certification and exam experience allowed the organization to make business decisions and prioritize resources according to what will have the greatest impact to customer satisfaction and loyalty. Using journey mapping to also visualize a future strategy provides the organization and partners a way to focus and align.
“As test developers, we sometimes get lost in our world of writing the perfect question or analyzing the psychometrics of an exam, and we forget about the customer service element of the exam process. ISACA’s approach to use journey mapping to improve customer satisfaction is exciting for everyone in the testing industry. We can all learn from ISACA’s approach to improve their customer’s satisfaction,” said last year’s award winner, Sheri Schaaf of SAP.
“It is with great pleasure that we recognize the wonderful and innovative improvements that ISACA made for its certification program and most importantly for their candidates. Taking a step back and evaluating our programs from various personas can certainly lead to greater candidate and organizational satisfaction. Congratulation to ISACA for choosing to do this, making the improvements and for being our 2019 Innovation Award recipient,” said Kristin Gibson, ITCC Board Chair.
