What makes one service more remarkable than another? Which experiences make peoples return to a business or place? This hands-on workshop invited to compile, discuss and cluster well-designed services. Its goal was to collaboratively collect and explore outstanding service implementations and best-case examples. The workshop aimed at finding patterns and distinguishing different types of services. This workshops’ outcome will be refined, elaborated and used to build a comprehensive database of exceptional services, both physical and digital. The compiled service collection will surface and be shared on an interactive map.

Essentials

5. “Service Design is a practice to create useful,
usable, desirable, effective and distinctive
services. These are developed through an iterative,
user-centred and collaborative design process,
focusing on the end user experience and taking
multiple tangible and intangible touchpoints in
consideration. Service Design aims to create value
for both the business as well as the customer.”
