are
everywhere

are
important

8. Services
are
designed
by
everyone,
all

generally
not

10. So,
what
can
‘design’
bring
to
improving
service
experiences?
Two,
broad
and
overlapping
areas

11. Service
Design
Doing
&
Thinking

12. Service
Design
Doing
&
Thinking
Most
projects
involve
a
bit
of
both…

13. Design
is
useful
for
improving
services
because
it…
is
able
to
take
a
broad
viewpoint
provides
new
methods
of
engaging
customers
is
a
flexible
process
can
make
complicated

22. The

24. So,
two
different
uses
for
the
term
service
design

25. Very
much
like
the
two
versions
of
User
Experience
Design

26. User
Experience
Design
Doing

27. User

Doing

Most

28. So,
Service
Design
and
User
Experience
Design
aren’t
really
that
different.

29. But,
why
should
people
interested
in
UX
care
about
service
design?

SD
is
a
great
new
business
development
tool
that
opens
doors
to
new
organisaIons

new
bits
of

(bits
that

SD
enables
you
to
move
up
the
‘value
chain’
and
have
conversaIons
about
projects
at
an
earlier
stage
–
thus
shaping
the
work
more,
and

bigger

Broadly
focused,
conscienIous,
UX
people
are
doing
SD
anyway
–
UCD,
prototyping,
visualising
etc

Ips
for
geang
more
into
service
design

35. 1:
Have
one
killer
case
study!
You
get
the
work
you
do…
And
you
get
the
work
you
talk
about…

36. 2:
You
don’t
win
SD
projects
talking
about
UX

37. 3:
Start
by

user
research
projects
with
a
broad
focus

38. 4:
Make

strategies,
running
workshops,

about
business
models

40. 6:
Work
on
stuff
that
ma?ers
to
you

you’re
doing
it.
