THE CENTER OF GRAVITY FOR ENTREPRENEURS IN TEXAS

Austin Design Week – A Service Design Toolkit: Mapping Service Ecologies
This workshop will introduce participants to tools to help analyze, map, and design service ecologies for service-oriented projects. Service ecologies articulate the environments, relationships, and processes surrounding a customer’s service experience. Using CapMetro’s MetroBus service as a model, participants will understand how to use these tools for both analysis and design during the lifecycle of a service design project. Tools discussed: 1. The Service Package creates a shared understanding and natural prioritization of a business’s service offerings and touchpoints 2. The Service Delivery Model creates a high level articulation of the service experience, mapping crucial touchpoints with the customer 3. The Service Blueprint is a dense document that ties business operations to the customer experience, helping to hold context-rich conversations and identify opportunities for improvement.
Participants will leave having interacted with these tools, forming a basis of understanding so they may apply and modify these tools to fit their own design or management projects. A handout containing the content of the workshop, as well as a list of other useful tools related to service design, will help participants access useful content after the workshop.
