This is Veryday’s take on creating value with service design as it was shared at a masterclass in connection with the Service Design Conference in Stockholm, October 2014.
Creating value originates in taking all perspectives (meaning the internal stakeholders, the brand, the organization and the end customer etc) into account, putting the end customer in focus. By being empathic to people, going from detailed to holistic thinking and prototyping the visions and ideas, we can create valuable and meaningful services.
At Veryday we have developed Fabric as our collaborative, modular, interconnected and iterative way of working to systematically design for experiences.

The topic of this session is:
Creating value with service design
(read text)
---------------------------------------------
Description of the session below:
Senior managers and innovation leaders are always on the look out for new ways of thinking and methodologies. This master class is a perfect introduction to the service design approach. What are the big trends in customer experience? We will share great examples from around the world and key lessons for leading effective collaboration across the organization. This seminar will give inspiration and hands-on tools to build growth, loyalty and differentiation by not just talking about customer centricity but really making it happen.
Often businesses have more than one “customer” - customer could be another business that then sells to end customer, for example. Service design is responsible for both of those. Airbnb storyboarding story helps to support this…
Empathy
Holistic
Protoype
Perspectives
Customer Centricity
Let me talk about the new paradigm of value creation for awhile
Have you had a disappointing customer experience recently?
I think we all know that even though it is 2013, from a customer point of view many services and experiences today are not good at all.
Many companies think they are doing OK.
But as research shows all over the world, their customers don’t agree.
(read slide)
these statistics are about 5 yrs old but still somewhat true
The reality is that customer experiences could be much better.
But is that a nice-to-have or should organisations prioritise this and what would be the value for them?
What is important to set up as the backdrop to this question is the fact that we are in the middle of a few significant paradigm shifts.
We are moving from the industrial society - where commodities where manufactured into products for a mass market
to what is probably best described as the networked society.
And yes, the internet, mobile and digital in a wider sense have been transformational enablers.
However, at the core of the shift are people.
Our society is in the process of changing in all dimensions.
This is one way of looking at this
And also shows why this is crucial to invest in and to focus on…
In the old days one could be successful if you where in manufacturing, make things…
Then it became more about logistics, how to distribute stuff (IKEA)
After that it was about IT and information (Ericsson)
And now its about the customer – and we can clearly see how companies that are good at this have better margins, higher profit, happier employees, they differentiate…
But it’s still quite difficult to do of course because as one of many things it requires an organizational shift (I will adress this later)
So another part of the paradigm shift: from industry led development to costumer development .
People have more ways of voicing their opinions and they want to voice their opinions.
They want to build relationships with brands and they want to be listened to and be influential
If we look at shares of the market
In Sweden the major part of the economy and profits are in the service sectors.
So on a national level services and experiences contribute 74% of the GDP.
This is the first reason this area is critical, because the major part of our economy is affected.
This is also the case Internationally – specifically China and Japan in this case:
(Explain the colours)
Every country is now moving in the direction where services are getting bigger compared to both of the other areas.
There’s obviously a bit of an overlap where products and services connect
and one doesn’t work without the other…
But the value creation is going to be 80% in services – so there’s where you need to be!
Services has a growing share of the economy
How can that be and who succeeds?
Companies that work customer-centric
Customer-centric (marketing) puts the customer at the center of a marketing strategy to gain as much return as possible
customer-centric marketing is defined as looking at a customer’s lifetime value and focusing your marketing efforts on the high-value customer segment in order to drive profits (Dr. Peter Fader, author of Customer Centricity
Customer-focused marketing is defined as offering customers a consistently great and relevant experience across all touch points (Dr. Peter Fader, author of Customer Centricity).
(http://bigdoor.com/blog/2014/04/22/customer-focused-vs-customer-centric-which-are-you/)
(The question is how to fund it.)
It seems to be part of human nature to constantly seek improvement and a better quality of life.
So if we look at the difference between a commodity – say coffee beans – and a product – for example a pack of 1Kg of ground coffee – its clear that it is actually more valuable for both the provider and the customer.
And if you can go to a café and get a hot cup of nice smelling coffee you are happy to pay even more that for the ground coffee.
But what you can buy in a nice café is the relaxing experience of sitting in a leather arm chair with Jazz music and a magazine zipping your latte – and that of course costs extra.
As organisations there is a clear opportunity to innovate and improve towards higher levels of value.
Through Service Design we look at both the value for the organisation as well as for the customer to create and optimise win-win situations.
You can deliver value by optimizing, expanding or re-imagining your marketing, product and service offerings.

The investment in research is extremely small in the world of services.
One study claims that in average production companies in Sweden spend about 50 times more than
service companies. (30.000 SEK compared to service companies investing 600 SEK. That is a ration of 50:1.)

The quality and the productivity of services is still far behind that of products.
And ultimately 60% of new services that are introduced fail.
So we see a significant opportunity to design services that are better in quality, more efficient and to reduce the rate of failure.
50 years ago industrial products where at a similar point. Some were more of a health-hazard rather than thought through from the user perspective.
Design has helped make products more useful, usable and desirable as well as effective and efficient.
And service design can do the same for services.
(Read quote)
This is why it is so important and valuable for companies, public sector organisations and brands to look at the entire experience from the customer point of view.
The customer doesn’t know what the different departments of the organization does.
If we want to design for great experiences the only way is to do it from the outside in.
We need to take an interest, invest time to listen and ultimately care about the customer perspective.
After all this is why the organisations and brands exist in the first place.
Often businesses have more than one “customer” - customer could be another business that then sells to end customer, for example.
Service design is responsible for both of those.
We also need to look at the organizations, to understand their culture and structure and help them understand how they need to adapt on all levels, organizational to the product or service they deliver
In summary, we are in the middle of a significant societal shift.
From Industrial to Networked and Industry Led to Consumer Led.
How do we increase profitability and satisfaction in a world of commoditisation, digital disruption and demanding customer expectations?
We have an opportunity to look at the way actual customers see our organisation or brand.
And we have a chance to meet or exceed new expectations.
What we need is a new collaborative approach.
We need to work together with different departments, partners and customers.
Service is not new.
But to introduce design gives us an opportunity to connect the dots.
Because design is very visual and tangible it can act as a shared language.
We need to look at the entire ecosystem.
We need to dig deeper in our research.
We need a way to re-imagine together.
But all ideas are worth nothing if we are not able to implement.
So we need to work in a way that lets solutions emerge in a collaborative and sustainable way.
And we need a way to make it scale.
To get started we would like you to write down one challenge that you or your organisation are facing.
These could be problems here and now or long term issues.
Please write a few big words on a paper, add your name or email.
We will share some of them out loud, but first take a few moments to yourself
We would like to collect these and maybe we can try to help inspire you a little bit with the seminar today.
If there is somebody that has absolutely no challenges in front of them, then please focus on any big opportunities you see for your organisation over the next few years.
(10 min)
(share out loud, write on the whiteboard, then move to the next slide)
These are some challenges that we hear about very often from our clients: (read from list)
(see if any match the ones we identified together)
There are obvious opportunities here
This applies to any organization
Public sector, governmental, Scania, Postal services, etc.
The opportunity within CE or Service Design is around their actual offering, that they can grow, develop, are different than competition
That customers feel that its worth coming back to
Help client to move up the value chain
To move up the value chain is today maybe more important than ever before because today everything is connected and everything is complex
People have transparency and insight and higher expectations
If you are a bank -
You’re no longer only competing with other banks
You need to look into what happens in the gaming industry, automotive, mobile services, and so on.
Btw: Adaptive Path, which is one of the world’s leading User Experience agencies were only recently aquired by Capital One – a bank!
This also applies if you are a medtech company (digital/connected health)
Or the automotive industry (connected cars)
This is what it may seem like
If you put yourself in the boardroom – in the strategy meeting
It feels very much like a storm
You know you need to know all these things
be mobile
know about social
BIG data
But anyone of these are a fulltime job to stay on track with…
Corporations rarely know where to look and how to look for it
Then they tend to go from the inside-out perspective
“What do we have already and what can we do with that?” and “We need an app!”
We will talk more about turning the perspectives around and looking from the outside-in instead
“What does the customer say, think, feel and how can we adapt to support that?”
Corporations will require guidance in finding their own way through “the storm”
One way of achieving this is by having a continuous conversation with the customer
Human empathy – means really listen and be interested and curious
Because the Customer is the first point of differentiation
They are the ones who will stay central for the company
They connect all the different departments
The reality is for people
And people in this context means employees, customers, internal stakeholders, clients – could be anyone
They all have the practical, pragmatic approach to….
(read the bubbles)
What's on their mind is quite straightforward – if you know how to ask the right questions
What’s good to remember:
Service can’t be exported.
Customers have to be there when they use them.
Customers participate when the service is delivered.
The Company side is completely different
It is still very much in silos – focusing on their part and not connecting so much
Companies have their defined processes, Legislation etc
(read randomly from list)
Organizational change is hard work – but is required to be able to deliver
They know they need to do all these things but don’t know how
(read quote)
So, you need to start by having a conversation with the customer
If you look within the organzations, the corporations need to build a culture and structure that supports the learning that comes from the conversation with the customers
Otherwise it becomes a very rigid and dictated process (silos again)
The key piece in scaling an organization and a learning culture is knowledge management
They key is to ensure that the team that has learned something can make it evident to the rest of the organization so that they understand it, can repeat it and continue to build on it
This is part of bridging the gap between the customers and the companies
Service Design can help in connecting these worlds
So to conlude - If you are able to build a knowledge sharing culture
and organize the company in a way that meet the Customer needs you are in a good place
This is the second point of differentiation – the company organization
Meaning – how the organization is able to deliver on their customer’s needs
The third point of differentiation is delivering on systemic solutions
As we have said, the customers expect that the product/service exists in an eco-system
That way they can maximize the usage and easier adapt to their personal context and time
If the producer can deliver on this request, they are in a good place
Designers need to help and guide to get there
Organizations need to understand the value and signifigance of this fact
This is the service ecology
(read quote)
It can look something like this…
Some inspiring examples that did look at the customer and the organization required to bridge the gaps
To start off in a most familiar way
Something really straigth forward
This is a typical touchpoint when it comes to travelling…
Many trips begin with booking a flight
As many of you know, many airlines own booking sites are leaving a lot to wish for…
Doesn’t do anything more for you then what its done for years
Most traditional approach
Compared to this service
Many more options
Based on customers and their needs
They dared to ask the question – what does people really want from us?
I am sure you have all heard of AirBnB, but maybe not all of you have used it or know how it came about…
AirBnB is a service that lets people rent out a bedroom, house or apartment.
It started in 2008
Has grown rapidly since
Now present in more than 192 countries
10 million guest nights booked within the last 12 months
35,000 people that are staying in an Airbnb spot right now
Making them the worlds largest hotel chain
Two types of customers
Guest
those that want a place to stay
Host
the people that rent out their home
Need to build trust for both of these…
Give painting examples of host and guests needs:
Host wants to feel safe that those guys renting the place this weekend wont wreck the place up…
Guest going with his family to that house wants to rest assured its in its claimed condition and has all the accommodations listed…
Initially the service was web based and traditional with its approach.
People could online search, list and find places to stay – very similar to e-commerse we know, like for instance Ebay.
But this didn’t really take off.
Brian Chesky the founder and CEO, who is a designer by training, had experience from how to work with product development and refinement…
…and implemented storyboarding as a way to document the customer experience.
Do you know storyboarding was invented by Disney in the makings of Snow White? They needed a way to communicate the whole project, process and what needed to be done in a clear way to all stakeholders. To visualize it they engaged with Pixar to draw out excerpts of the scenes and passages on, what came to be, story boards.
Worth mentioning is that Mark Levy, Global Head Of Employee Experience @Airbnb will be a speaking at the conference tomorrow…looking forward to that.
Brian hired a Pixar illustrator to capture the key emotions and to help the whole team work together to shape a vision and strategy based on the storyboards.
What became clear very quickly is that a lot, to not say most, of the experience happens outside of the website
What you will remember when you come back home, and share with your friends, is first and foremost what the experience was like on site – not what it was on the web site.
So AirBnB completely re-evaluated its mobile strategy and designed a cohesive experience for both the people that rent out their home and those that want a place to stay.
We have a short video that gives an insight into the storyboarding approach at AirBnB.http://www.fastcompany.com/3002813/how-snow-white-helped-airbnbs-mobile-mission
Case from an uncommon Service
Who had a car crash in the last year?
And how did that go about?
If bad response – mention example from cultures where small crashes and dents are a most common event… (joke – laughter – light atmosphere)
Progressive insurance developed a service concept they call:
First “response cars”
They’re first on site
Empathy trained ppl approach you; “Hi, are you ok…?”
They help you out, right there on site
They make you feel safe…
…and almost “special” with this VIP service
It cost a fortune for the company but is included for the customer… simply because it pays off in the long run…
Fraud is the number one biggest cost for insurance companies (at least in the US but may very well be applicable in many other countrys)
This type of service is funded by simply avoiding loads on money on fraud
Started internally as project “The fraud squad” – go out there and see it they really had a crash
They then service designed it into something really appealing and premium scented
The second largest cost is law suits
After the intro od the service its been shown that rates has gone down significantly
With the empathy trained staff, conveying this VIP labled service, the customers where so pleased with the service that they didn’t sew…
A company like this, end up saving money buy developing a premium service, giving a lot of good-will credit – and through that cutting cost…
Just a great example of how to good you can do when you find these important win-win opportunities.
To sum up this part…
Service Design is a way of thinking and a methodology that helps to collaborate with relevant stake-holders, partners and customers more effectively.
To come back to the shift.
There are a few things that have changed.
And those set the context for what we are talking about today.
For instance

At Veryday we have developed Fabric as our collaborative, modular, interconnected and iterative way of working to systematically design for experiences.

You can look at this as 6 pieces of a puzzle that all connect to each other somehow

This is probably the best part of a project.
When you get to go out and meet people in their every day life.
I love it.
At what other times do you get the chance to be present at a heart surgery or go to Brazil and go grocery shopping with people who live in the poorest areas of Sao Paolo?
Get an understanding of their lives somehow.
To follow people deeply, you have to spend time with them if you want to be ale to know what really matters to them.
You rarely get that through standardized questionnaires.
Here we have mapped out several people’s expereinces over time.
What emotions or attutides they have in certain moments.
(GÅ)
This a great framework derived from the nobel prize winner Daniel Kahneman (Psycologist, prize in Economics)
How does the experience from that booking situation look before | during | after ?
The actual moment of ”booking”
(Pretty clear what ppl want…)?
We need to understand what is doable right now – and what mindset does the customer have then at that very moment.
Needs for customers vary
The needs for a certain customer also vary over time and at certain points in time…
On a weekday I may have needs related to my work, business needs, while on the weekend when using the same service I have needs relating to my kids and social aspects.
Impossible to just design in one way and then just put it on the shelf
It needs to work every time
We need to understand;
what could go wrong
Where ppl come from
what have they been doing
What could be in their expectations
Many companys are focusing on ”the Occasion”/during
Different departments take care of their particular piece in regard to this occasion
“CRM send lots of emails to customers so they stay loyal”
Another department is taking care of selling as much as possible in that particualar moment
But they dont talk to each other
They process things in their own box – and it just doest’n add up for the customer who sees the sum of all
What lives on, after people have used a particular service…
The memory ppl have of what actually happened
What they recall of what happened
And what they recall of what they thought would happen, their initial expectations
And how well these match up…
This is their “ultimate memory” and the summary of what they will share on social media.
Designing the delivery to meet customers recollection of their “ultimate memory”
Expectation management

Why is it important and valuable with Customer journeys and Blueprints etc? (not ”how do you go about it?”)
Touchpoints – exists in different categories: physical evidence, environments, human interactions etc
Customer journeys – There is always multiple journey’s through the same service – make visible critical happenings, emotional responeses, moments of truth etc.
One way to make it visible is through blueprints
Blueprint benefits – Precision
- Knowledge: implicit to explicit (manifested)
- create common ground via tangible visualisation (within organization and between organization and customers)
- Focus on the customer
Blueprint key uses – Define new services
- Evaluate & improve exisiting services
- Compare with a competing service
- Train employees
- Strategic – Macro level
- Tactical – Micro-implementational level
All of this happens over time and across channels, through physical evidence, environments and human interactions
In between there are transitions (and they can also be designed)

Something we have learned is to work collaboratively in an ”Innovation Lab” (can also be referred to as ”War-room”)
It is extremely efficient and creates a platform of participation in the organization.
It’s basically a room where the customer’s experiences and stories can be visualized.
There is nothing like a customer’s story about their reality. No CEO can argue with that!
So get everything up on the wall.
Working with deep reserach generates a lot of knowledge and material.
By having the material present this way it makes it more approachable and you can invite different stakeholders to analyze the material together from the different perspectives.
(GÅ)
The principle builds on engaging relevant people/stakeholders in the development process.
Invite, listen and engage.
Let people be part of the process instead of ”going home to your chamber and work work work and then tada, present…”.
We are usually on site these days during the project.
We can hear the stories and company culture in the hallways.
We work a lot toghether and not isolated.
It also creates a curiostiy in the rest of the organization about ”what’s going on in that room?”
The more people you involve at an early stage the stronger the solution.
It can be a challenge and it demands clear structures of how different people are supoosed to contribute.
Otherwise there’s chaos.
What do you think, is this something that could work in your organization? Did you work in a similar way before?
(ML)
When you have all the stuff on the wall it’s all about making the material comprehensible and meaningful.
Take apart and put together in new ways.
You need multiple types of brains to be able to do this and create patterns in the material.
You sort and cluster the information until you see a patttern emerge.
Often the material creates an eco-system of componenets, stakeholders or situations.
The eco-system makes evident important flows and connections that you can choose to develop further.
Describe and make more concrete with scenarios and visions that continue to be more concrete.
Here is a space to challenge the business models and ”old truths”.
It’s time to start thinking in Business Case, you can start putting numbers on the different parts so that the focus is on the themes and areas with the most potential to creat value, both for the organization and the customer.
(GÅ)
Explore. Wow. You could spend days just talking about this slide. It’s so important
Fail early, Fail fast, Fail often!
Everyone has heard that you should fail as much as you can right?
But not so many live by that principle…
And the point is that you should get the mistakes over and done with early on so that you haven’t invested so much in it yet.
Basically this means prototyping.
It’s widely used in product design and interaction design (physical and digital products)
But how often do you prototype a service?(read ”key methods”)
You can work with role play like here (picture to the left) when a store owner and one of our interacion designers (Gabriel) is acting out different roles in the expereince prototype regarding an in-store purchasing application (?). They were able to see what worked and not in the software and how it correlated to the flow of events, expecatations from the customer and how they could engage in a face to face communication as well.
(ML)
Lastly, everything need to scale up.
It’s show time.
All systems back-stage are supposed to be in the right place so that everything works frontstage.
Staff should be trained to be able to deliver a consistent service.
This is where he early involvement pays off on a wider scale.
If the right people are involved from the beginning, in principle the word ”implement” becoms unneccessary.
The implementation starts day one in the project.
Still, it’s good if you can do things step by step, scale up one step at a time, do a pilot befoer you go big.
There are so many small details that can put things to a stop.
(Vi pratar inte om det nedan)
Ett exempel är Mayo Clinic i USA, vida erkänt för att ligga i framkant vad gäller service. Där har man byggt ett experimentlab där man utvecklar nya vårdformer och skapar trygga system för äldre så att de kan leva ett mer oberoende liv. I praktiken har man byggt upp en hemliknande miljö där ca 400 seniorer bor. Här testar man nya lösningar för själva levnadsmiljön, hur bla tekniska lösningar kan skapa trygghet. Man jobbar med upplevelsen i transitionsprioder i livet så att man bättre förstår vad en äldre person går igenom i dessa kritiska stadier i livet och kan stötta på ett bra sätt. Vidare provar man olika stödformer och utbildning för anhöriga vårdgivare till exempel.
På det här sättet har man skapat ett pilotlab där man kan testa nya lösningar i så verkliga sammanhang som möjligt och även över lång tid, innan man skalar upp och implementerar fullt ut.
Can you measure all of this then?
This is what you can look at
I won’t go into detail here but there are some ways of measuring that have been emerging over the last few years
To be able to measure you have to define these
As early on as possible
To sum up some key challenges…
Inside the organization
Outwards – from the company towards the clients
Iterate
