Human centred or user centred approach to designing services almost always assumes the hierarchy of people over organisation. Services are often founded on user needs with clearly articulated user value, but almost always fail to address its relevance to the organisation. Due to this one sided lens to problem solving, there is little understanding of why a business should benefit from investing, building, adopting and maintaining the service proposition; as a consequence many service design projects fail to sustain.
This workshop focusses on answering three key questions:
- How can we consider designing services that add value to both users and businesses equally?
- How do we measure the value of experiences that are intangibles and services that can only be experienced?
- How can businesses adapt to change in the way they measure impact and define value?

improve their processes and
ways of working
It brings creativity and
innovation to problem solving

not have been able to
It can offer businesses a
competitive advantage

innovation and design
muscle across the
organisation

initiatives
SYNTHESISE DESIGN TEST AND LEARN EMBED
THE DESIGN PROCESS HAS ITS LIMITATIONS
11. Designers prioritise people over
business and don’t see them
as equals
Design doesn’t understand
business as well as businesses
understand businesses and
vice versa
Design and businesses are
motivated by very different things
Design and business see the
evolution of services as vastly
different

20. Pick your airline
YOU ARE PART OF A SERVICE DESIGN TEAM FOR
A SUCCESSFUL AIRLINE COMPANY
Your airline is looking to grow its
retail business (shopping online,
and in-flight) in the next 2 years.
Your team has to present a new
service proposition for this retail
business to the exec board and
request funding
21. You should consider the following
while shaping your service
proposition:
1. User needs, aspirations and
expectations across relevant
channels
2. Business needs, aspirations,
expectations and core capabilities
3. Value to the business and to
users alike
YOUR SERVICE PROPOSITION
NEEDS TO BE BRAND ALIGNED,
FOCUSSED BOTH ON USERS AND
BUSINESS EQUALLY...
22. Divide your groups into 2 to
research on the following:
Sub group 1
Understand people, trends and
disruptors:
Define the experience of shopping
with the airline. What worked?
What didn’t? What could change?
Also explore future trends and
potential disruptors
Part 1: IN YOUR GROUPS...
30 minutes
Sub group 2
Understand the business
Research your airline’s current
retail offering. Consider looking
into statistics to indicate how other
airlines are performing in this space.
Also look at generic benchmarks in
retail space to get a broader sense of
the growth potential
23. Flesh out your service proposition.
You can visualise this in the
form of journeys/storyboards or
prototypes that show how the new
retail experience would work
Define your ‘People & Profit’
framework to support your service
proposition
Prepare to present this to the
executive board for funding. You
will have 5 minutes to present
your idea to convince them
