Service Design
Design Thinking for Services
Description
Service Design means Design Thinking for Services. Service Design, or Experience Design, CX, UX
or what ever you might call it is not just about thinking: Design in general is an act of doing.
Great customer experience needs a common language across disciplines to break down the silos
within an organization. Service Design provides a consistent model and toolset for accomplishing
this.
Service Design is for everyone who is interested in customer experience, innovation, and
collaborative creating. It is for people working in an organization who want to create better or even
new offerings; it is for you who want to find new ways to connect operational silos and work together
more painlessly by using a "language" and toolset that everyone in an organization can understand;
and it is also for you who might want to run, lead or participate in co-creative group sessions where
people work together more effectively and enjoyably.
This Service Design PPT training presentation introduces the key concepts and principles of Service
Design, and the basic methods and tools of Service Design. It includes personas, journey maps,
service prototypes, service blueprint, stakeholder map and last but not least, the business model
canvas.
Structured as a Service Design crash course, this guide is useful for Service Design Thinking
coaches/facilitators who want to focus the workshop more on hands-on experiential learning and
less time on theory or lecture.
You may use the material to conduct a two-hour, half-day or full-day workshop and focus on any
combination of tools depending on your training needs. This workshop guide includes templates of
service design tools, as well as suggested facilitation techniques.
