The document introduces service blueprinting, which is a tool used to map out a service process from the customer's perspective. It involves depicting the customer actions, onstage and backstage employee actions, and support processes. The key components of a service blueprint are the line of interaction between customers and employees, the line of visibility that separates visible and invisible actions, and the line of internal interaction that separates customer-facing and support activities. Service blueprints are useful for designing, clarifying, and explaining service concepts as well as identifying areas for improvement. They provide a complete picture of a service system to help all stakeholders understand their roles.
