Service Blueprinting for
Improved User Experience

What is Service Design?
Service design aims at designing services that are
useful, usable and desirable from the user
perspective, and efficient, effective and different from
the provider perspective.

What is Service Design?
Service design aims at designing services that are
useful, usable and desirable from the user
perspective, and efficient, effective and different from
the provider perspective.
“
When you have two coffee shops next to each
other that sell the same product at the same price,
service design is the reason why you walk into one
and not the other.

What are we doing today?
We are going to map a “typical” user experience.1

3
We are going identify any “pain points”
and try to improve the overall experience.
We are going to think about what it would take to
make that user experience happen.
