- Basic Relationship

A. Depending on the relationship between the service provider and the service consumer, it can be difficult for the provider to fully understand the outcomes the service consumer wants to achieve. In this type of relationship, they work together to define the desired outcomes. For example, relationship managers in internal IT or HR departments may regularly talk with customers and discuss their needs and expectations.
The typical focus remains on improvement and effectiveness. The typical organizational levels involved in this relationship are service provider and trusted advisor. Typical service types include services that have to be configured or customized to fulfill the needs of the service consumer. Typical types of agreements under this relationship include advanced SLAs, experience-based agreements, or outcome-based agreements.
B. Consumers articulate their expectations quite clearly, as the service provider expects. The typical focus remains on support and efficiency. The typical organizational levels involved in this relationship are ad hoc and order taker. Examples can be found in commercial off-the-shelf services, out-of-the-box services, and highly standardized commodity services or goods supply that are offered to a wide group of individual external service consumers.
This is how mobile operators, broadband service providers, and transport companies usually operate. Typical types of agreement under this relationship include standard contracts, service level agreements (SLAs), and experience-based agreements, mostly for mass market.
C. Services are based on service offerings and products that have been planned and built in accordance with requirements specified by the customer. An Agile product development approach is adopted, where the service consumer and the service provider co-create the product in shared teams.

Match the PRINCIPLE of SERVICE DESIGN THINKING to its definition.
- User-centered
- Co-creative
- Sequencing
- Evidencing
- Holistic
A. We see, hear, smell, touch, taste, and emotionally feel the physical manifestation
of services. The entire environment of a customer journey, service, or product should be
considered, as should alternative customer journeys.
B. The customers and users need to be put at the center of the design
process. This requires a genuine understanding of the customers and users beyond
statistical descriptions and empirical analyses of their needs.
C. Physical evidence or artifacts, such as souvenirs, can trigger the memory of
positive service moments. Therefore, through emotional association, they can continue to
enhance a customer’s experience. Service evidence can prolong service experiences
beyond the actual service period far into the post-service period. Also, service evidencing
can help reveal inconspicuous backstage services. Intangible services should therefore be
visualized in terms of physical artifacts.
D. Service design thinking deconstructs customer journeys into single
touchpoints and service interactions. These, when combined, create service moments.
Touchpoints and service interactions take place human-to-human, human-to-machine, and
even machine-to-machine, but also occur indirectly through third-party feedback such as
online reviews. Every customer journey follows a three-step transition of a pre-service period
(getting in touch with a service), an actual service period (when the service consumers
experience a service), and a post-service period. The customer journey should be visualized
as a sequence of interrelated actions.
E. Facilitating co-creation in groups representative of the stakeholders is a vital
aspect of design thinking and a fundamental part of service design. All stakeholders should
be included in the design process.

What are the 5 (ordered) steps in designing the customer journey process?
- Empathize
- Define
- Ideate
- Prototype
- Test
Match the customer journey design stage to its definition.
- Empathize
- Define
- Ideate
- Prototype
- Test
A. Build a representation of your ideas and adopt a hands-on approach. Design customer journey maps and service blueprints for the stakeholders’ mental models by asking them to structure the journey or products for you. Consider frequency, sequence, and importance. Frequency means what customers do most frequently should have a prominent position in the sequence. Sequence means that activities should be presented in sequence. Importance means that important information must be given clearly and at the right time. Understanding the customers’ mental model and applying the frequency, sequence, and importance rule will solve most of the stakeholders’ usability needs. Verify that the design helps deliver the planned outcome, experience, and value.
B. Construct a point of view that is based on user needs and insights. Reframe and define the problem in human-centric ways. Map the existing customer journey, if any, and map stakeholder experiences to identify any problems in the customer journey. Define and plan for the desired outcome, experience, and value. Set goals and define metrics.
C. Brainstorm and come up with creative solutions. Create many ideas in ideation sessions to think of improvements to the customer journey. By the end of this phase, the team should have several problem-solving ideas.
D. Learn about the stakeholders you are designing for. Understand the human needs involved. Define and test personas and scenarios. Set aside your own assumptions about the world to gain insight into the stakeholders and their needs.
E. Return to the original stakeholder group and test your ideas for feedback. Do not avoid mistakes but explore as many mistakes as possible. Perform usability testing, role plays, and A/B testing. Track usage, build in feedback loops, review metrics, and role play to test that the design helps to deliver the planned outcome, experience, and value.

C. The tendency that we do not seem to perceive an experience as a whole, but the average of how it was at its peak. So, after using a product or service, we tend to disproportionately recall the high and low points of the customer journey and not all the individual aspects of it. In particular, unpleasant endings have a strong negative impact.
D. The tendency to base our judgements on events that are most available in our memory, despite the fact the availability of a memory is often influenced by unique and emotional factors. For example, the distribution and frequency of positive and negative points of interaction during the customer journey affects our service perception.
