Overview
Service design thinking is the designing and marketing ofservices that improve the customer experience, and the interactionsbetween the service providers and the customers. If you have twocoffee shops right next to each other, and each sell the exact samecoffee at the exact same price, service design is what makes youwalk into one and not the other. Maybe one plays music and theother doesn't. Maybe one takes credit cards and the other is cashonly. Maybe you like the layout of one over the other, or one hasmore comfortable seating. Maybe the staff at one is friendlier, ordraws fun shapes on the top of their lattes. All of these nuancesrelate to service design.
This Is Service Design Thinking combines the knowledge oftwenty-three international authors and even more onlinecontributors from the global service design community and isdivided into three sections:
- Basics: outlines service design thinking along five basicprinciples
