Journey Map
SERVICE DESIGN, GRAPHIC DESIGN, ILLUSTRATION
What is a service journey map? It’s a series of touchpoints between the customer and the service. Customer journey is ideal tool to use when designing new services or enhancing current ones. With journey map we often leverage service design, graphic design, and illustration.
About. Journey mapping involves often workshops, surveys, interviews, and observation. It usually starts by gathering information about customers’ needs and current experiences with the service.
Based on this information, customer personas are formed. After this different service stages of the customer journey are identified – awareness creation, consideration, purchase, deployment, and aftercare.
Outcome. A blueprint for a seamless multichannel customer experience. The journey map clarifies collaboration in service delivery and aids in planning the use of technology and communication throughout the customer journey.
Price starting from 2 400€ + VAT. Including a preparatory meeting, one or two workshops (approximately 4 hours), workshop planning and facilitation, and workshop summary (e.g., a visualized journey map).
Concept Design
SERVICE DESIGN, GRAPHIC DESIGN
What is concept design? It is the process of taking an idea, knowledge or a skill and turning it into a concept. It is a strategic process through which a company clarifies its idea and ensures it meets the needs of its customers.
Concept design helps to plan the launch of a service. Concept design usually includes service design and graphic design.
About. Concept design is an iterative development process, involving close collaboration with clients, developing empathy and identifying problems. The concept design process is divided into a number of steps. In projects, we may focus on some or all of them.
In the beginning of the process, it is essential to understand the needs and experiences of the customers. In the ideation phase, a set of ideas and concepts are created in response to the identified needs. Potential concepts are then prototyped and tested to simulate the service. Based on feedback, the prototype is modified as necessary. It is also essential to evaluate the business model during the conceptualisation process. How will the service be produced, how will it be priced and how will it deliver value to both customers and the business?
Outcome. Innovative and distinctive concepts, customer-centric thinking and risk minimisation.
Price starting from 5 900€ + VAT. Duration about 2-2.5 months, during which the idea of the service is typically defined (workshops, interviews), the prototype is visualised in an understandable form, tested (interviews, observations) and finalised in an agreed form.
Customized Workshops
SERVICE DESIGN, ILLUSTRATION
What is a workshop? A workshop is a method of bringing together different stakeholders, such as customers, team members and others, to plan, brainstorm and solve business challenges. Workshops can be used for training, problem solving, change management and to foster creative working. We use service design and illustration to deliver the workshops.
About. At the beginning, we look deeper into the situation of the client organization. We define the objectives for the workshop and discuss the activities that are appropriate for the workshop.
During the workshop, the facilitator guides the workshop process, encourages interaction, creates a safe atmosphere and supports the client in achieving the workshop objectives. After the workshop, follow-up activities such as follow-up meetings and further training are often planned to support the long-term impact of the workshop.
Outcome. A good workshop is inspiring. It provides concrete tools and ideas that participants can use in their work. After the workshop, there is often an evolution in the practices of the team that participated, which strengthens the team’s ability to achieve its goals.
Price starting from 2 400€ + VAT. Including planning, workshop design, facilitation, workshop materials, workshop summary and follow-up recommendations.
