NUX Camp: Service Design Explained

Yesterday I spent the afternoon at NUX Camp in Leeds. I guided 30 people through a basic service design process in less than 3 hours. This session was designed to give the participants a rapid light touch experience of the design process and get a sense of how service design principles are applied at every stage. 19060593042_604a3c0a34_z

Each team created a "How Might We" statements...

  1. How might we improve the train experience?
  2. How might we make it easier to get a doctors appointment?
  3. How might we make sending a parcel easier?
  4. How might we improve the experience of going to your GP?
  5. How might we improve the online banking experience?

We then journey mapped, mapped emotions, created personas, talked to the public about our ideas, storyboarded and prototyped.  We used some energisers and we checked in and out ( to find out more about these Hyper Island methodologies you can visit our open source tool box )

Some of the final ideas included online banking authenticated by drones, oyster card for trains, uber for doctor and a dropbox for physical parcels.

The teams quickly jumped online to get immediate feedback on their ideas and despite the rain some teams ventured outside. Excellent.
