Case study
'Service design: how did we get here?'
The practice of service design has evolved in its impact and influence in organisations. Initially thinking ‘beyond the product’ has shifted into ‘experiences’, and further developed into designing end-to-end solutions that cover product, software and service combinations. This evolution has also brought increased complexities, especially in the delivery of those solutions, with different actors having to deliver their piece of the puzzle.
For organisations needing to deliver these complex end-to-end solutions, there is often a need to change the organisation that delivers those and service design as a practice has a role in this organisational transformation.
In this case study, Jon will share a retrospective view on how service design evolved in a multinational organisation, how it got scaled and embedded into development processes expanding its reach not only on its output but also on its influence within the organisation.
