Some frequently asked questions

Service Design is the discipline of creating an optimal end-to-end service experience across all touchpoints, by ensuring customers are central to all processes.

Service Designers look holistically at a service experience, map out and orchestrate all aspects of it to deliver a fantastic experience:

  • The “front stage”: the elements that a user interacts with, such as an app, a website, an email or a conversation with an employee. 
  • The “backstage”: the behind-the-scenes activities a user doesn’t see, such as systems, processes, staff training, etc.

In today’s saturated marketplace, providing an amazing customer experience is critical to building brand differentiation, loyalty, and long-term business value. Leading organisations, such as Apple, Google, Uber and Disney, have embedded Service Design into all their processes to design smooth and personalised experiences that people will remember and talk about.
