Service Design Management - Setting the Stage for Implementation



Have you been looking for improving your Service Design Implementation work?


Successfully implementing service design projects is crucial to creating a real impact. But what are the barriers to delivering new services, and what are the optimisation potentials? How can service designers support implementation? How do we bridge the knowing-doing gap?




Service Design Management - Setting the Stage for Implementation with SDN Acc. Master Trainer Dr Tina Weisser is returning to the SDN Academy on March 14 & 21, 2024! This workshop will introduce you to the fundamentals of service design implementation and organisational change. We will discuss strategies to ensure that user experience concepts are not getting blocked internally and ultimately removed from the priority list. You will also start to think about implementation at the right time and have in place everything that you will need along the way. You will learn what are key prerequisites, conditions and skills needed.

"To date, there is no model in service design research that offers a comprehensive analysis and structure of the influencing factors in the implementation of projects. Based on the empirical results, the KUER model was developed, consisting of four phases and main activities (see Diagram). KUER stands for ‘Key Prerequisites’, ‘Understand & Discover’, ‘Enable & Define’ and ‘Reinforce & Deliver’."

One can imagine the design process as the designer’s own journey; one that moves from 'defining' to 'delivering', and invariably encounters some difficulties along the way. Although we have a range of creative tools and methods at our disposal as we progress, it's typically the last phase we see as the biggest challenge: implementation.

From Design to Implementation -

Touchpoint Vol 10 No 1

Free for SDN Member

With this issue of Touchpoint, we celebrate a milestone tenth year of publication. And rather than choosing a simple theme, we decided to tackle one of the trickiest problems of service design: How does service design continue delivering value through to implementation? In other words, what happens after that second diamond?




Service Design and Change Management - Touchpoint Vol 11 No 3

Free for SDN Member

Delivering new services into the market, or improving existing ones, often means fundamental changes within the service provider itself. As the organisation grows larger – or the service more complex – more and more roles are touched by our work. For those seeking to understand how to bring about the required change in an organisation, and feel adrift beyond the second diamond, we hope you find new inspiration, techniques and avenues of exploration in the pages of this issue.
