Service design is a versatile tool for developing services, business, customer experience, user experience and strategies. Digital service design plays an important role in modern service development, but we always take a multi-channel view of the service to be developed, going beyond just the user experience.

How to use service design in solving business challenges
-
Service concept design
We use service design methods to create new service concepts, both digital and physical. We always include the multi-channel aspect in service design. -
Service productisation
Effective productisation is essential for products and services to succeed. Service design is a customer-oriented way of building products that meet the customer’s actual needs and business objectives. -
New business development
The conventional business development method is to use the company as the starting point. We help conceptualise and create new business with the main focus on customers. Using service design, we ensure that there is customer demand for the new business, and we use business design to ensure that the business will be profitable. -
CX development
Service design is an excellent tool for improving the customer experience. We use customer insight to first understand where the bottlenecks and value for customers lie in the current service. We then proceed to design improvements to the customer experience. We know from our time in the industry that creating a foundation for customer experience development in the form of a vision and strategy will be a great help. -
Sales and conversion optimisation
We use service design to help commercial services succeed. Once we have a better understanding of the motives and needs driving customer behaviour, we can adjust the service to increase its conversion rate and attract more suitable customers. -
Customer relationship development
Service design based on comprehensive customer insight helps the organisation focus on the important things in customer relationships. For example, service design can be used to shape customer relationship strategies, account management models, and customer programmes. -
Customer insight
Service design can help organisations understand their customers better. Unlike pure research, service design goes beyond recommendations, using customer insight to produce actual development ideas for the design process.

Service design is more than the customer experience
Service design ends in a measured result, not PowerPoint
Too often, service design stops after defining the service path or acquiring customer insight. This is when the actual design work starts. What measures are needed to produce tangible results for your services, customer experience, and business development? This often means experimenting, learning, refining, and finally scaling the services. The end result is a profitable service loved by customers.
Service design management and ability development
Companies are increasingly looking to improve their service design capacity, recruiting their own service designers. Large-scale use of design thinking on all organisational levels takes persistent and systematic effort. Typical questions involve skill requirements, service design organisation, partner involvement, measuring the success of service design, and how service design can be integrated broadly into service development, business planning and strategy work.
We act as your partner for improving your service design ability. We help with team building, organisation, performance indicators and wider skill building. We work seamlessly with your service design team when you need experienced designers, ideas or trainers for building your in-house service design capacity. We can also provide training for specialists and service designers.
