Detailed Human experience framework including: Who, what how, why, and prerequisites for all stages of initiatives: Annual operating planning, scoping consult, preprogram, during program and post program
2. WHY HAVE A HEX FRAMEWORK?
2
• Put the human experience on the agenda of Brand strategy
• The purpose is to drive Brands to continually think and improve the quality of experience a person has when
interacting with the Brand.
• Make Brands aware of the importance of providing meaningful, pleasurable, convenient interactions.
• Start every program with the “human experience”.
• HEX is implemented by the program team and all stakeholders.
• HEX includes a variety of tools to be used pre, during and post program.
• Each program will customise, find their appropriate level and tailor their own HEX activities to focus on delivering
what is most valuable.
