Endineering Aim at the End.

A good consumer off-boarding experience should be…

Consciously connected to the rest of the experience 

through emotional triggers 

that are measurable

and actionable by the user. 

It should identify and bond the consumer and provider together in mutual responsibility. 

Its aim should be to neutralise the negative consequences of consumption. 

It should be concluded in a timely manner and 

avoid assets falling outside the consumer lifecycle.
