//What is Service Design?

“Service Interfaces are designed for intangible products that are, from the customer’s point of view, useful, profitable and desirable, while they are effective, efficient and different for the provider.”

Mager, 2007

Page 3: Crash Course: What is Service Design?

“Service Designers visualize, formulate and choreograph solutions that are not yet available. They watch and interpret needs and behaviours and transform them into potential future services.”

Use photos, observation, and casual interviews with this technique!

//Interviews

Aim: Uncover unknowns through questions and observations of the user in their own environment.

Ask permission, keep it a casual chat, and take mental notes!

Interview service users and service providers to get a varied perspective and document as much as you can!
