TRANSFORM YOUR CUSTOMERS' EXPERIENCE THROUGH SERVICE DESIGN

"Service design has been around for 20 years and has matured from a niche design discipline to a more comprehensive and accessible way to tackle customer, business, and organizational challenges. However, it is still under recognized and undervalued by businesses. This book aims to address this in two ways. First, by putting the value of service design into business terms and second, by showing how service design can connect to core business outcomes and capabilities."
