The value of consciously designed services

Iain Barker

We can get caught up in researching, designing and launching services, and totally forget the impact the conscious design of services is having on real people. Let this cease!

Using stories from Australia and around the world, this talk provides tangible examples of the impact service design is having on customers, staff and organisations in a range of different sectors.

Transcending transactional spaces: Incorporating memorable experiences into design

Robbie Robertson and Alex Ritchie

Consumers are people. People who are emotional. They seek experiences that leave them with pleasant memories. Services are exactly the kinds of human-centered activities in which design thinking can make a decisive difference. Memorable experiences are difficult to replicate by competitors and, when positive, are exceptional differentiators.

Robbie Robertson and Alex Ritchie, directors of Australian experience design consultancy e2, will articulate how service organisations can use design thinking as a tool for imagining these experiences and giving them a desirable form.
