‘The playfield between products and services’
Products are increasingly becoming platforms for delivering services and are decreasingly seen as primary objects of economic exchange. With close to 80% of the total EU gross domestic product value being based on the service industry, most companies, especially larger ones, have to shift their business logic from selling products to delivering experiences and outcomes.
Almost no business can escape this playfield to remain competitive, meaning that a service-centric mindset is critical to guarantee business success. To some organisations, it is a call for internal transformation. For design to be a supportive force, we need to design for both better services for customers and better business results. The cornerstone is linking different levels more closely together – from the operational level to organisational change.
Join Inga’s talk to hear about her experience in embedding service design within a large manufacturing business. She will share examples of what practices let service design be a strategic business tool for making short and long-term decisions and how this discipline can become increasingly established as an important change-maker for an organisation.
