Going from UX to Service Design
Price
If you want to improve customer experience, you can no longer focus on just design and usability. Service design has to play a part. According to research, the most customer-centric organizations today grow 43% more than their peers each year. The secret to their success is the fact that they think beyond user experience (UX) to design seamless positive experiences for their customers at every single touchpoint. In other words, they utilize service design.
In this Master Class, you will learn:
- What service design is
- How to practically apply service design in your work
- Why you should consider a career in service design
- How you can transition into a service design role
You'll gain insights from Frank Spillers' 20+ years of experience designing high-value services and products and learn how to use a systems-thinking approach to design clutter-breaking customer experiences. What's more, you'll learn tips and tools which will help you maximize customer retention (and profits) through the use of service design.
Whether you're new to user experience (UX) design or are looking to expand your career prospects, this Master Class is a great chance to upskill and prepare yourself for the fast-growing field of service design.
