The journey started with discovery
We have a saying at Enjoy: “We don’t assume, we seek to know”, so we put data-driven insight at the start and heart of everything. And this project was no exception.
As with all new clients, we kicked off this project with an immersion workshop. With caffeine and good vibes in full flow, this was our opportunity to learn, listen, digest, probe, and understand their business through the lens of multiple stakeholders. Their ambitions, challenges, priorities, objectives, past wins, learnings, and marketplace.
Following the immersion phase, we then moved into our discovery phase. This is where we ‘look under the bonnet’ of a business, to observe and identify key insights, trends, and areas of potential focus. This process helps us join the dots between the outputs of the immersion session and the reality of what the data tells us.
Then, we conducted a data deep dive, exploring user journeys, behaviour, and engagement to understand what’s working, what’s not, and quantify opportunities.
To gather further insight, we conducted user testing, arranging interviews with a number of participants, reflective of Northern’s key audience personas within the Northern catchment area. The purpose was to get a clearer and more accurate understanding of:
- How and why they purchase train tickets online
- What this process looks like
- How do they navigate the Northern site
- How Northern compares to other ticket providers
- How Northern could improve their digital experience for users and drive conversions across their website
Backed by this insight, we hosted an internal UX review, bringing our experts together to produce a list of hypotheses we could feed into our experimentation plan.
