Definitions from the well-known

Not so much a new, standalone 'field of knowledge' as a new 'way of thinking.'

— Marc Stickdorn


An interdisciplinary field combining design, management, and process engineering that designs systems and processes around user needs to generate new social and economic value.

— Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design


Service design is the work of developing the work environment, tools, and processes that let employees deliver the best service aligned with the brand's message.

— Continuum


The 4 Ps (Product, Price, Promotion, Place) + People (the service experience) + Process (workflow) + Physical evidence (environment and tangible evidence). 

— Booms & Bitner



My take

Each member moves their work and schedule forward with both the backstage and the front-stage situations in mind.



Scope

CO-CREATIVE  : all stakeholders, including customers — the interaction between them


SEQUENCING    : multiple touchpoints, interactions / narrative


HOLISTIC BIG PICTURE : system design, culture, values, norms, organizational structure, process


EVIDENCING      : physical evidence                     : tangible


USER CENTERED : understand shared language, habits, culture, social context, motivation / embrace differences
