Service design is an integrated approach that combines material and immaterial components to enhance customer experiences, leveraging tools like service blueprints and customer journey maps. It requires multi-disciplinary collaboration and is evolving from product-dominant to service-dominant logic, where value co-creation is central. The document provides practical methods and strategies for implementing service design effectively, emphasizing the need for user-centered, contextual, and collaborative processes.

5. SERVICE DESIGN, WHAT IS IT?
IT AIN T NEW, HONEY….
The great economic law is this: services are exchanged for
services...it is trivial, very commonplace; it is nonetheless, the
begining, the middle, and the end of economic science."
"
- Fredric Bastiat 1848
The integrated design of material components (products) and
immaterial components (services) can be documented and
codified using a service blueprint to map the sequence of
events in a service and its essential functions in an objective
and explicit manner.
- Shostack 1982

6. SERVICE DESIGN, WHAT IS IT?
THERE ARE MANY INTERPRETATIONS...
FROM VERY PRACTICAL TO VERY HOLISTIC...
ONE IS NOT MORE ‘TRUE’ THAN THE OTHER…
IN FACT THEY NEED EACHOTHER…
BUT IT REALLY HELPS TO KNOW WHICH END OF
THE SPECTRUM YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.

19. THE SERVITISATION OF VALUE: FROM OWNERSHIP TO
GETTING JOBS DONE. TOUCHPOINTS ENABLE VALUE CO-
CREATION. PRODUCTS SUPPORT SERVICES

20. SERVICE DOMINANT LOGIC
OLD PARADIGM: SERVICES ARE WHAT’S LEFT OVER IF YOU
REMOVE ALL PRODUCTS
THIS IS PRODUCT DOMINANT LOGIC
NEW PARADIGM: EVEN PRODUCTS ARE PART OF A SERVICE
IN THE END
THIS IS SERVICE DOMINANT LOGIC
Vargo & Lusch 2004, http://www.sdlogic.net/publications.html

21. SERVICE DOMINANT LOGIC
VALUE IN EXCHANGE VS VALUE IN USE
TEMPORAL, RELATIONAL VALUE CONSTELLATIONS

Business Review, 71 (4): 65-77.

22. SERVICE DESIGN ACCORDING TO
SERVICE DOMINANT LOGIC=
DESIGNING ECO-SYSTEMS OF
CONNECTED PRODUCTS, SERVICES,
COMMUNICATIONS AND
ENVIRONMENTS, WITH PEOPLE AND
FOR PEOPLE, THAT ENABLE THE CO-
CREATION OF VALUE.

OF SERVICE
DESIGN

33. DESIGN THINKING
CONTEXT MAPPING
CUSTOMER JOURNEY MAPPING

34. MINDSET: DESIGN THINKING

35. THERE IS NO FIXED DESIGN THINKING PROCESS. DESIGN
THINKING IS ABOUT COGNITIVE FLEXIBILITY: THE ABILITY
TO ADAPT THE PROCESS TO THE ISSUE.

39. METHOD: CONTEXT MAPPING
• looking into insights into user's lives, to get a grip on their
future behaviour.
• exploring two levels of abstraction:
• 1. motivations behind behaviour (why do people do what they
do)
• because products and services should answer embedded
needs and motivations, not simply facilitate behaviour
• 2. future consequences of these motivations (what will
people do in the near future)
• because we are talking about research for design,
innovation, development, of new products and services for
new, or undiscovered needs.

40. METHOD: CONTEXT MAPPING
contextmapping research:."
1. ask for an example out of the daily life of the participant
2. ask about the emotions surrounding that event: what did you
think about it? did you like the activity? did you like the result?
how did you feel while doing this? did you miss anything?"
3. take the participant into a more aspirational, future oriented
state: "what would you like the experience to be? what would
the ideal look like? if you had unlimited time and money, what
would you to make this experience better for you?
4. let the participant draw, visualise, make things."

41. TOOL: CUSTOMER JOURNEY
MAPPING
