The Temkin Experience Ratings are based on evaluating three elements of experience:

  1. Functional: How well do experiences meet customers’ needs?
  2. Accessible: How easy is it for customers to do what they want to do?
  3. Emotional: How do customers feel about the experiences?

Here are the top and bottom companies in the ratings:

    It is interesting to note how the grocery / food / basic needs companies show up at the top and Health Services companies show up at the bottom. I wonder if the mindset / situation of customers also contributes to the perception of the experience.

      Customer mind set
      grocery: proactive, envisioning pleasure.
      healthcare: reactive, in crisis.
