NS

cover image


The role of the service designer

  1. Observe "human" experience, as a whole and in detail.

  2. Make the service tangible and visible. 

  3. Create the concept of the service.

                                          - Oxford Saïd Business School



The procedure for making a Blueprint 

  1. Identify the process, 

  2. Isolate fail points, 

  3. Establish the time frame, 

  4. Analyze profitability, and set direction.

            + Check the Line of Visibility (do not overlook the elements that are not visible to the customer but still affect service quality.

              For example, which shoe polish a shoe shiner uses, and which supplier provides it, is invisible to the customer but ends up affecting the shine of the shoe.)

  5. Delivering the Service 

             : Highlighting Tangible Evidence + Making People Special (design and experience) 

  6. Outcomes 

             + Modifying a Service

             + Applying the Principles
