Service Design Introduction for Rainmakers
- 1. service design & user research an introduction
- 2. service design & user research: an introduction hello quick convo: what do you understand as ‘service design’? designers’ version of service design: process, principles, techniques (20 mins) HS2 examples & GDS principles (20 mins) what parts of service design do you do/support? (15-20 mins) Rainmaker principles workshop (20-30 mins)
- 4. what is service design? a definition This is Service Design Thinking, 2012 when you have two coffee shops right next to each other, and each sells the exact same coffee at the exact same price, service design is what makes you walk into one and not the other. - 31 volts service design, 2008
- 6. service design process Design Council, 2005,designcouncil.org.uk
- 7. service design process shift surrey innovation process discover discover user needs. clearly define the problem. design ideate. decide an idea/solution to take forward. visualise and prototype. develop test prototype and learn. decide decide whether to implement solution. communicate decision. deliver allocate resources. implement, measure success, and learn.

- 9. research ideas prototype & test assess, communicate & decide implement repeat to develop service design process co-design, divergent thinking user testing define brief(s) develop service according to changing circumstances if digital: user stories blueprints, ideal customer journey touchpoints, ideal scenario storyboarding guidance & upskilling for service providers, launch digital service potential outputs: personas, customer journey mapping, storyboarding example techniques: visual interview techniques, Day In The Life, cultural probes, surveys, quantative analysis

- 13. user centred co-designed sequenced holistic iterative ideas, prototyping & testing service design principles
- 14. user centred make it work for the user - not just the client service design principles
- 15. co-designed ? participatory with all stakeholders ? users are experts of their own problems ? clients know the issues well ? (but don’t have the environment/culture/ techniques/skills to make the necessary changes) service design principles
- 16. sequenced ? designed in sequence like a comic strip ? each interaction in a service is an opportunity for change service design principles
- 17. holistic ? look at the entire environment of the service ? adaptive to context - bespoke services, sensitive to nuances of the audience service design principles
- 18. iterative ideas, prototyping & testing ? divergent thinking: ideate widely to hit on innovative concepts... then prototype the best ones ? think big, start small: quick & dirty proof of concept (means you can test several ideas for the same budget as a big pilot) ? take a range of small risks and expect failure rate in order to find something that really works ? try out something then develop as you go: continuous testing ? changing world --> service is never ‘finished’ service design principles

- 25. service design techniques - design thinking - design research - personas - co-design - customer journey mapping - communication with non-designers* *makes service design a bit different from other design disciplines. Coming from a different background forces clients to simplify language to enable designers to work with them. Creating shared language = antidote to getting lost in jargon

- 28. The importance of talking directly to the users No substitute for talking to actual users Users in their natural environment Assumptions of user needs can quickly become ‘facts’ Understanding what they are trying to do The difference between user needs and user wants user need = end goal that the user is trying to achieve user want = their preference for how they would like to achieve it Functional and emotional needs HS2 user research project the value of user needs “If you don’t know what the user needs are, you won’t build the right thing. Do research, analyse data, talk to users. Don’t make assumptions.”
