What does a service design agency do?

Our Service Design team crafts exceptional, inclusive digital experiences using a human-centred, holistic approach. Our approach focuses on understanding users through research to map seamless customer journeys.

With an interdisciplinary mindset, we bridge organisational silos and enhance processes, systems, and structures to create differentiated and enhanced customer and employee experiences.

From strategy to execution, we embed service design across your organisation beyond digital transformation. Our expertise shapes digital and informs physical ecosystems around your users' needs, engaging customers, empowering employees, and delivering business value.

As a leading service design agency, we’re the right partner for organisations looking for human-centred, results-driven digital services and wider transformation.

Does your business need a service design agency?

There are many reasons you may need a service design partner: 

  • Your back-office isn’t up to scratch and aligned to deliver the full service
  • Teams aren't geared for rapid innovation, and you lack the right skillsets and culture in-house
  • You're undergoing an organisational change or targeting market expansion
  • External factors like regulations or sustainability targets demand change

    Exploration & Vision

    We start by deeply understanding your organisation and service through research methods like surveys, interviews, and ethnography. By mapping interactions between customers, staff, systems and data, we understand how your service flows end-to-end. This results in an “as-is” service blueprint - a detailed visualisation of all the elements in play. Through this research, we also begin to ideate potential improvements, from small tweaks to full redesigns.

    Ideation & Design

    Next, we rapidly prototype and iterate on the most promising service redesign opportunities uncovered during research. This could involve journey maps, walkthroughs, diagrams, or interactive prototypes to bring ideas to life. By continuously collaborating and sharing progress, we align on your future “to-be” service blueprint and desired customer experience.

    Evolution & Navigation

    With the future vision defined, we plan execution by analysing gaps in workflows, data and technology. We build a roadmap of quick wins and larger initiatives and support change management across teams and culture. This may involve workshops, training and providing governance guidance.

    Co-iteration & Embedding

    Finally, we become your implementation partner to build, launch and iterate on the new service. Our technology team delivers the new digital products, DevOps processes and ongoing optimisation. More than just implementation, we work closely with you to monitor and refine the service even after launch, ensuring it continues to meet your goals and the approach is embedded in your organisation’s culture and operations for future success and ongoing value-add.
