Presentación

Everyday we are active users of different kinds of services from the very second we wake up to the second we fall asleep: when we go to the office, to school, to the supermarket or even to a hospital. Very often, we have to face the fact that these services have not been designed keeping in mind the user: you! Service Design is an established and successful innovation methodology that helps generate exciting and meaningful experiences for people, like you.

In the past decades Innovation and Design were focused mainly on products. Today, in an economy driven by information technology and intangible goods, the service is the product. Being able to create useful and desirable services becomes the fundamental skill for companies and organizations in order to innovate.

The value of service design lies in the development of innovative solutions that didn’t exist before or in making already existing services significantly better in terms of desirability and efficiency. Service Design creates value because it consists in designing what people need and desire.

Programa

Every participant will work hands-on with a project and the course will guide you through the essential concepts and the methodology of Service Design.

This structure is not linear; several different topics related to the five main themes will be presented
during the course.

The structure will focus on the following phases:

Phase 1_Understand the problem through observation and interviewing techniques.
There is often a huge difference between what you think the customers want and what they actually
want.

Here you will practice:

- how to ask questions that reveal meaningful insights and how to attentively listen so to make your
customers talk

- how to observe the users in context to reveal unknown truths about their behaviour

Phase 2_Reframe the problem and opportunity.

Whether it’s trying to beat your competitors or enter into a whole new market, one of the most
powerful techniques to solve a problem and find new opportunities is to know how to frame the
actual problem.

Phase 3_Ideation and effective brainstorming.
Apparently many people are not ‘innovative’.

We will prove that perception is wrong by showing you the different types of innovator and how each
of them can innovate, generate exciting new solutions.

Phase 4_Prototyping an experience.
One of the biggest fears by companies is launching while in the prototyping phase.
Here you will build prototypes to be tested with users.

Phase 5_User testing& Refinement.
Validating a new service before the big launch is essential but doing it right is critical.
You will test these steps for yourself and evaluate what changes would need to be made to make the
service more successful in the market.
