Transformation? What does that even mean?
Service transformation is the required
organizational and systemic change in order
to design and deliver new services which
become integrated with the business in
sustained, ongoing strategy, structure, and
operations at scale.

Multiple globally interconnected
reasons for price collapse
“ “
None of us live in
isolation from the
impacts of an
increasingly complex
world.
So we need to innovate,
and then transform to adopt
and sustain those innovations…
But organizational innovation and
transformation has more to do with
archaeology than with rocket science

Slow, surprising, unexpected, mystery.
Digging with a paintbrush
As we transform organizations…
…we need new perspectives & tools
Seeing & responding to complexity.

Delivery realizes value.
Foundations support value.
Bedrock defines value.
To work effectively with
these elements we need
to know a few things.
Each element of
Delivery, Foundations,
and Bedrock moves at a
different pace.

How Buildings Learn
…there are processes in nature, which operate in different timescales and
as a result there is little or no exchange of energy/mass/information
between them. Brand transferred this intuition to buildings and noticed
that traditional buildings were able to adapt because they allowed
“slippage” of layers: i.e. faster layers (services) were not obstructed by
slower ones (structure).

I’ve experienced in my
mid career onwards was
because I missed
something in one of these
layers…I had great
teams, with great
designers, but design
alone was not enough
to succeed.

Boundary Objects
83
“Boundary objects are objects which are both plastic enough to adapt to local
needs and constraints of the several parties employing them, yet robust
enough to maintain a common identity across sites. They are weakly
structured in common use, and become strongly structured in individual-site
use. They may be abstract or concrete. They have different meanings in
different social worlds but their structure is common enough to more than
one world to make them recognizable, a means of translation. The creation
and management of boundary objects is key in developing and maintaining
coherence across intersecting social worlds.”
Star & Griesemer, 1989
	Star,	Susan;	Griesemer,	James	(1989).	"Instuonal	Ecology,	'Translaons'	and	Boundary	Objects:	Amateurs	and	Professionals	in	Berkeley's	Museum	
of	Vertebrate	Zoology,	1907-39".	Social	Studies	of	Science	19	(3):	387–420.

Boundary objects
allow collaboration
without consensus.
85
The vision for a future
customer experience
becomes a boundary
object for
transformation.
Customer Experience Alignment
Journey
“ “
What do we need to
change in order to
deliver on this vision
of future experience?
Compelling customer
experiences drive organizational
change because they provide the
motivation & energy to work across
different pace layers. True for
current poor experience & future
awesome experience.
