Service Design Workshops
Service design is a process in which the designer focuses on creating optimal service experiences. This requires taking a holistic view of all the related actors, their interactions, and supporting materials and infrastructures. Service design often involves the use of customer journey maps, which tell the story of different customers’ interactions with a brand, thus offering deep insights.
Marc Stickdorn and Jakob Schneider, authors of the bestselling book This is Service Design Thinking, provide five basic principles that underlie service design:
- 1.User-centered, through understanding the user by doing qualitative research
- 2.Co-creative, by involving all relevant stakeholders in the design process
- 3.Sequencing, by partitioning a complex service into separate processes
- 4.Evidencing, by visualizing service experiences and making them tangible
- 5.Holistic, by considering touchpoints in a network of interactions and users
