Three days in the world of design!

Day 1: What is Service Design?

Introduction to Service Design Methodology and Tools

The first day was used to explain Service Design methodology and tools, to build the Smart City Ontology, ideate potential services connected to the related areas, then prioritize them. In this wa, we helped Telekom Malaysia to move from a tech-centric approach to a user-centric one, considering how to transform their tech portfolio and offering into potential value-driven services. To conclude Day 1, we set priorities for emerging ideas using impact/effort variables.

Day 2: Strategy Design

Understand the Client's Vision

During the second day, we conducted several business interviews to offer our support in terms of strategic design and initial field analysis to evaluate the context. In this way, we better understood our client, their vision, their limits and opportunities, thus allowing us to best organize consultancy support to build up a great strategy.

Day 3: Personas and Journeys

Introducing Victoria, our First Persona Made Together

The third day was used to co-create personas and journeys related to the first priority service, also underlining the limits and the opportunities, as related to the data collection that came from the ideas. We helped Telekom Malaysia to put themselves in their customers’ shoes, understanding the possible barriers, needs and motivation to use their service.
