Service Design Thinking & Doing
In a nutshell: Service Design is the essential and integral discipline and method to face transformation – especially digital transformation. It is a discipline at the interface of business, marketing, design and technology. Creating meaningful services that clients truly love gives your business a distinct competitive advantage in saturated markets.
To celebrate Service Design Day, we offered an afternoon workshop and an after work talk & networking event on June 1st in Hamburg in cooperation with the Service Design Network. Our workshop was a proper first step to implement Service Design Thinking in your organization. Therefore, we dedicated our event to all professionals out there who aim for reliable, intuitive and consistent client experiences despite their department. Over 30 attendees joined the workshop, while another 30 joined in afterwards to spend the Friday evening with us. We explained the core of this methodology and throw light on business areas that it can be used for. The ensuing talk and networking evening was a deep dive into Service Design Doing with smart lectures from VW and Lloyds Bank.
