Thanks for sharing this insightful video and the glimpse of your project with us, vaia.

Glad that you asked this question. Since we were in doubt, we covered both journeys (hybrid).
In ideal case we capture current state to highlight service loopholes and future state to indicate solutions to those problems.
Once our research is finished and journey maps are created, we use these journey maps (and personas) in ideation workshop to generate ideas - diverging.

We also use these journey maps to explain the story to various stakeholders including upper management (C level), vendors, project sponsors, IT, product teams, sales staffs, in conference etc.
