Backgrounds

Why should I apply?
Nowadays, customers are more knowledgeable than ever before, and they are talking to each other, which makes customer satisfaction more important than it has ever been. Only an in-depth and holistic understanding of customers and their environment can create offerings that provide meaningful value and make a real difference on the bottom line. Service Design Thinking can provide this understanding. Learn how to apply Service Design Thinking to the rapid innovation of customer experiences in multi-channel product-service ecosystems.

What is the take-away of my daily work?
The main take-away of the workshop will be the ability to apply several tools to your own business problems in order to innovate towards new value propositions. You will be able to instigate real service-innovation projects in your organisation, leading small project teams focused on individual service elements, or developing new value for your entire service offering.

Curriculum and course content
The workshop is limited to 30 participants, and will be highly practical. You will learn about the service design process, methods, and tools by working on a project in a small team, with short periods of reflection on the theory behind contemporary service innovation methods. Confidential feedback sessions are offered around the workshop, giving participants the opportunity to receive input from the mentors on individual challenges from their work and project experience.

Methods and tools include:
Ethnography, Personas, Stakeholder Mapping, Value Network Mapping, Customer Journey Mapping, Service Blueprinting, Business Model Canvas, Service Prototyping, Investigative Rehearsal
