Ends. Joe Macleod at the RCA Service Design course.Joe Macleod
We create rich, emotional and meaningful experiences to on-board the consumer. In contrast, the off-boarding in a consumer experience is barren of emotion and meaning. This sacrifices consumer action, holds back engagement; limiting reflection and responsibility.
This talk was presented at the Royal College of Art, for the Service Design students.
Ends at Service Design Network Global conference. Joe Macleod
This presentation was given at the Service Design Networks Global conference in Madrid. It provides an overview of the theme around the Ends book and Closure Experiences. Particularly for the point of view of services, and in detail considers ends in Financial Services and Health.
The presentation also share ideas, models and processes for improvement in the customer lifecycle to create better and less biased experiences.
Ends. Why they are critical to improving consumption. How many services have you started, designed, launched and built a customer base for? Do you have the same passion about ending them appropriately? Does it matter? Most experiences in life are punctuated by a closure experience - an ending. In the past these were profound; however, over generations we have distanced ourselves from meaningful endings thanks to our lifestyles increasing in comfort, the church weakening and medicine advancing. The impact of this has been particularly acute in our consumer society, where as providers and consumers we are happy to overlook endings; excited to move on to the next product or service experience. This has created a cultural oversight in our personal responsibility and a vulnerability in our businesses. We witness this at scale in some of the services’ industries biggest problems - mis-selling of financial services is now common place. PPI in the UK alone accounts for £35bn according to the FT. 1 in 4 UK pensions are going missing according to the charity Age Concern. Lost in decades of mis-management, mergers and acquisitions and the normal changes over a person’s life. A surprising amount of old people are getting their first tattoo, fearful someone will bring them back to life after the Do Not Resuscitate agreement fails. Paying off mortgages, the biggest personal debts in our lives, should be a celebration. Instead all the thanks we get is often a cold letter to say it’s finished. Well designed and thoughtful endings help us reflect, take responsibility and move on coherently, but sadly the service industry is awash with bad endings. Joe Macleod introduces the theme of his Ends book at the SDN 2017 conference. He makes a compelling case that demonstrates how, over centuries, our changing relationship with death has led to the loss of our relationship with endings. Giving rise to guilt-free consumers, an overly-blamed business sector and a society which finds itself at a loss when it needs to grapple with responsibility. Drawing on a plethora of sources in history, sociology, psychology and industry, he argues that we are taking the wrong approach to challenging the impacts of consumption and that we need to create coherent endings in our product, service and digital experiences to rebalance this.

Ends. Joe Macleod at Hyper Island. Jan 2020Joe Macleod
Endings in the consumer lifecycle.
As consumers and providers, we overlook the importance of healthy, coherent endings. There was once a rich culture of reflection and responsibility, but over recent centuries this has been lost. Producing a mixture of long term societal oversight, and short term denial.
We are left with a bias customer lifecycle that is limited to the exciting vocabulary geared strictly around all things new. Giving rise to guilt-free consumers, an overly-blamed business sector and a society which finds itself at a loss when it needs to grapple with responsibility and consumptions biggest ills.
With more consideration around consumer endings, we can improve these ills.
Ending It. Emotionally. Responsibly. With your business intact - Joe MacLeod ...Nexer Digital
In the presentation, Joe talks about the slow erosion of consumer endings, how this has increased in recent history and why it is so damaging to the consumer experience. He will provide current industry examples, with areas for improvement and techniques to use in your own product development.
Presented at WebExpo in Prague 2017.

Ends. Off-boarding in consumer experiencesJoe Macleod
This presentation was shared at the California College of Arts to members of the Design department. It describes ideas around consumer experiences, endings, off-boarding and closure experiences in Digital, Service and Product sectors.
Closure Experiences are a noodly type of issue. Understanding them, and working with their quirks can be challenging. The workshops I run are based on learning the principles of closure experiences, and applying these to issues you face on your projects or in your businesses. The workshops are a lot of fun. They can be as short as an hour, or as long as a week.
Feedback from workshops
"Joe re-wired my brain. It's not often that such a big idea and way of thinking is hiding in plain sight."
"I loved this session! Impressed at how important but yet forgotten is the closure of experiences in every aspect of our lives (especially in the times we live)."
Ends. Good and bad examples by Joe MacleodJoe Macleod
Here is a selection of good and bad endings in consumer experiences. These examples are taken from the Ends presentation that I share at conferences and businesses all over the world.
Lack of Closure Experiences are holding businesses, customers, and society back. Changing the customer lifecycle to include Closure, will improve the wider customer experience, and help business deal with mis-selling, climate change and privacy in digital.
