What's the cost of doing nothing?

  • 1 in 3 customers will leave a brand they love after just one bad experience¹.
  • Customers who had the best past experiences spend 140% more compared to those who had the poorest past experiences².
  • Companies that earn $1 billion annually can expect to earn, on average, an additional $700 million within three years of investing in customer experience³.

Poor service design can have a significant impact on a company’s bottom line, customer loyalty, and overall success.

Zoom out for a bird’s eye view - and zoom in to optimise

The Service Design process takes a bird’s eye view of a service—and then focuses on the detail. It ties together all interactions across the customer journey and the “behind-the-scenes” activities that enable those experiences to be delivered. 

Service Design sits at the intersection of customer needs, business objectives and organisational capabilities. It has the power to transform your service offerings and business models to create new revenue streams and improve customer engagement.

Our team came to Academy Xi for some group training in UX & Service Design. The purpose of this training was to help establish common practices and outputs for the team. The training was a tailored experience, to ensure that all team members would get something out of it, and felt engaged.

It was a great team building exercise, and really helped us agree on methodology - which in turn helped us have a common approach within the workplace - which helped enormously in streamlining our approach.

Frequently asked questions

Product management is an organisational function that guides every step of a product’s lifecycle — from development to positioning and pricing — by focusing on the product and its customers first and foremost.

High-performing product management teams help organisations achieve business goals, such as entering new markets, selling more to existing customers, changing customer behaviour or winning business from competitors.

We work closely with our clients as collaborative partners to identify and design around learning pillars that are essential to product maturity.

We work with you to understand where your capability gaps are, design a product management course that hones in on and addresses these gaps and continuously measure for impact, not just learner engagement.

 

On successful completion of our Product Management training, every learner will be issued an industry-recognised certificate in Product Management. We encourage learners to share their verified credential on LinkedIn to promote their newly acquired skills and to support their organisation’s commitment to upskilling.

In order to deliver the best product management training for your team, we can provide content to support the development of a business case to match your learning strategy.

These include: Analytical thinking & innovation (#1); Complex problem-solving (#3); Critical thinking and analysis (#4); Creativity, originality and initiative(#5); Reasoning, problem-solving and ideation (#10).
