Services are such integral parts of the daily life of individuals and organisations that a day without paying for or providing them is inconceivable. They come in so many different “shapes and sizes”, we have difficulty defining them let alone designing them properly. So what?

Majid Iqbal is an expert on policy, strategy, and design. As an advisor at the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate he co-founded a special unit called XLAB; developing new approaches to complex problems and methods for visualizing systems, services, and transitions. He cut his teeth in sales and product management, before moving to teaching, consulting, and design. Since after Carnegie Mellon, Gartner, and PwC, he has been on a mission to bring more clarity to the concept of a service, as it relates to implementing policy or strategy. His other voyage of discovery is about cooking and patterns in food across cuisines and cultures.
We think we know services ― not a day goes by without using them ― until we have to design them. It is then that their realities confront us, teasing us sometimes. While services have always been ‘designed’, the qualities of their designs are more important than ever, given how much more we depend on them. Thus the need for deepening our understanding of what services are, what they can be, and why they fail ― often in unexpected ways. This book reveals the surprising design of services ― their internal structure or ‘DNA’ ― through simple diagrams. It introduces a language and format for describing the concept of a service with clarity and depth. And, it provides the principles for implementing strategy through design.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Services are such integral parts of the daily life of individuals and organisations that a day without paying for or providing them is inconceivable. They come in so many different shapes and sizes , we have difficulty defining them let alone designing them properly. So what?The universe of services is expanding faster than ever, and along with it new modes of failure arise, exposing us to unexpected costs and risks. Even the simplest of services are dynamic and complex in the way supply meets demand to fulfill a promise. Therefore, when they fail to meet expectations despite the human-centeredness of their design, we are surprised. That s often because their design is superficial. This book is about having new eyes and new perspectives for understanding and exploring the universe of services with a certain kind of curiosity and imagination. By grasping their realities, and deepening our understanding of what services really are, what they could be, and why they even exist, we can broaden the possibilities in their design.With drawings, symbols and one extraordinary word, this book introduces the basis of a design language for services. Anyone can learn this language, with a little bit of curiosity, imagination, and quiet time. You do not need a degree in economics, biology, or computer science. We think we know services not a day goes by without using them until we have to design them. It is then that their realities confront us, teasing us sometimes. While services have always been `designed, the qualities of their designs are more important than ever, given how much more we depend on them.
