Appendix E: SIRF Customer Journey Mapping Email Template

SUBJECT LINE: Customer Journey Mapping Invitation with Strengthening the Implementation of Responsible Fatherhood Programs (SIRF) Study Team

EMAIL BODY:

Dear [insert name],

 

I am writing to you on behalf of the researchers from the Strengthening the Implementation of Responsible Fatherhood Programs (SIRF) study, which is funded by the Administration for Children and Families of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. SIRF will use iterative learning methods to test promising strategies for common implementation challenges that fatherhood programs face.

 

In this activity, the study team will guide your staff through a series of activities to map the steps in your service flow in order to identify areas where the process of enrolling and engaging fathers in program activities can be improved. Following an informational webinar, the study team will host a video conference call with program staff and ask you to complete short assignments in between the webinar and the meeting. For example, program staff will create a customer persona that reflects the characteristics of a typical program participant. Finally, we will come together on a virtual meeting to review the activities and put together a complete “customer journey map” that will help us uncover insights about your program and develop design ideas for SIRF. We expect it to take just over one day of each participating staff person's time to complete all these activities.

Please let me know the times that work best for you from the list below. All times are in [insert time zone of the respondent]

Thank you,
