It's called encapsulation, and it has four parts: Preparation → Experience → Reflection → Integration.Most companies stop at the experience. The magic happens in what comes before and after. Help people imagine beforehand. Help them reflect afterward. Help them integrate the change into their lives.Do this right and your experiences become life-changing. Skip it and you're just entertainment.Full breakdown in episode 499 of The Leadership Podcast. https://bit.ly/TLP-YT-499?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=westudyleaders#Encapsulation #TransformationFramework #CustomerExperience #JoePine #BusinessStrategy #ExperienceDesign #TransformationEconomy
