About the workshop
The service blueprint is a technique used for service innovation, but has also found applications in diagnosing problems with operational efficiency and can be used to conceptualize structural change.
It is used to define what is required to deliver a service or a user experience. In this workshop, participants will visualize how a customer experience is delivered across different channels, by mapping a service. Using this blueprint, participants will define the role of each user channel and touchpoint as well as the specific requirements at each stage of the user journey. Once the map is finished, participants will identify pain points within the service, and propose solutions that ensure a better service, and therefore a better user experience.
