On Tuesday, May 9, Hans Zijlstra of KLM and colleague Maurice Palmen gave the lecture “KLM is taking the train more often” at MIE’23. The audience rated the session with a nice 8.3, good for a top-10 listing in the ranking best rated lectures at the MIE.
Innovative research
KLM is increasingly betting on the international train as a sustainable alternative for short flights connecting to longer, intercontinental flights. In a pilot in late 2022, KLM learned a lot about the experiences of travelers who made such a transfer to or from Brussels thanks to Beautiful Lives’ innovative 360⁰ research. We mapped the entire customer journey in the moment for KLM, through Whatsapp Only, observations and in-depth interviews.
In their lecture at MIE’23, Hans and Maurice shared the surprising insights from the research. Hans: “Beautiful Lives’ extensive and innovative customer research has helped us well in finding out where, for the traveler, the bottlenecks are currently on such a journey, and what we need to improve.”
