What is service design?

Service design is about working holistically to create meaningful and desirable user experiences from beginning to end, both for the people using a service and the people providing it. Most services today are developed “inside-out”, which means the service is a reflection of the organisation’s internal structure, rather than what the user actually wants or needs from the service. A service design approach is about developing services “outside-in”: identifying the user needs first, regardless of company structure, and then piecing together the right back-end structure to deliver the best possible user-experience.

In this session we will give you a quick introduction to key service design methods, share some cases to show you why it matters and close with a Q&A. We look forward to seeing you there!
