In the context of digital transformation and change there’s often a risk of service design being misunderstood as either a luxury, or a magic bullet. ⚠ In the latest post on the Sparck blog Dr Emma Murphy FRSA and Amy Middleton argue that, on the contrary, it’s an essential ‘golden thread’ through complex innovation projects. “In organisations whose cultures are resistant to adopting a human-centred design (HCD) approach, service design can be especially important,” writes Emma. “If you’ve worked with a business analyst (BA) then much of what a service designer does will seem familiar… but different. That familiarity can be helpful.” Read more on the blog 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dyAxK5eZ [Image description: A spool of thread.] #ServiceDesign #design #communities

My journey into service design came from a background in digital transformation and implementing change. Back then (and even more so now!) I always wanted to know more: what’s the next step in the process, how does that impact the person using the product or service, is the idea actually feasible, and who do we need to help us do it? There are so many nuances to each change project, however service design really has opened my eyes to the power it has as a discipline to be the golden thread that connects the dots. After a candid chat with Dr Emma Murphy FRSA we decided to put our thoughts in writing, and well you know how this story goes! Check out our blog ⚡️

I’ve been chatting to my fabulous colleague Amy Middleton at Sparck BJSS about the role of #servicedesign in #digitaltransformation. A Service Design mindset, and appropriate methods such as #journeymapping and #blueprinting can bring essential clarity to complex projects, complementing other disciplines such as #businessanalysis and #technicalarchitecture, to bring together front end and back end, and to make often tacit knowledge explicit. We decided to write a blog post to summarise our thoughts! Read more below 👇

How can service design thinking revolutionize your business? 💭 Amarendra Limaye shared, "When you're in the early stages of discovery, you might not have a designer yet, because you don't know what to design.

Observation #1: A service based business is experience based. Basically, a good service≥ a good experience but.. It also means that when the customer and the business meet, they are carrying their own personal experiences. For example, in a design services business, our client could come with past experiences of having a bad rapport with their designer or not having understood the design work. So they remain more skeptical and skittish at first. At the same time, as the business, we've had past experiences with all sorts of clients. It's really a tandem game that is being played, unpacking all the past experiences to create a good future experience. #servicedesign #servicebusiness #businessobservation #designagency

Good design is good business. But what is good design? Ask any designer and you will get a different answer every time. Designers think differently, we’re wired another way. Most of us hate talking about money. Most of us know good design intuitively. Trying to explain, it often ends up in jargong and design terminology. And the gap between the clients and designers gets wider. There is exactly where the problem is. Designers and clients thinking in different ways. But there is also where the solution is: Good design is a result of a great collaboration between clients and designers. Combining left and right brainers makes good design. Combining left and right brainers makes good business. Good design is good business. #designbusiness #design
