The Experience Economy

With increased competition, the service industry is having to re-think on how to create value in order to establish differentiation, attract and retain customers, build loyalty, motivate employees, and drive business growth.

The essence of ‘Customer Experience’ as a value proposition is an increasingly employed business strategy, providing both value for customers and employees, in the way of a total memorable experience. But how well are you going about it?

Dsign Thinking orchestrates a seamless end to end customer journey experience, taking in multiple touchpoints across different channels.

Services have a design problem

Professionals in the service sector need to realise that they are involved in design, and need to find solutions in addressing this problem. Services have unique features. They are not tangible, cannot be stored or owned, consumption happens at the same time as production and they are complex experiences that happen over time. Therefore, designing services requires special considerations.

Dsign Thinking addresses these unique challenges.

What is Service Design?

Service design helps organizations see their services from a customer perspective. It is an approach to designing services that balances the needs of the customer with the needs of the business, aiming to create seamless and quality service experiences.

Service design is rooted in design thinking, and brings a creative, human-centred process to service improvement and designing new services.

Through collaborative methods that engage both customers and service delivery teams, service design helps organizations gain true, end-to-end understanding of their services, enabling holistic and meaningful improvements.

The Science

Behavioural studies show that customers consciously and unconsciously filter clues embedded in the service experience and organise them into a set of rational and emotional impressions.

Anything sensed or perceived is regarded as one of the 3 category clues.

Functional

Rational

  • Quality
  • Competence
  • Reliability

Humanic

Emotional

  • Responsiveness
  • Knowledge
  • Recovery
  • Credibility
  • Competence
  • Effort
  • Appearance

Mechanical

Emotional

  • Music
  • Aroma
  • Lighting
  • Temperature
  • Spatial Layout
  • Artefacts
  • Signs
  • Symbols

The Experience Preference Model

Once impressions of experiences are formed, they will fall into one of the three “zones” based on the customers’ perceptions about their total experience.

Rejection

These are experiences that are perceived as negative and are rejected. Customers who categorised their experiences in this space are also likely to be a source of negative word-of-mouth commentary.

Acceptance

These are experiences that don’t create strong impressions in either a positive or negative sense.

Preference

These are experiences that foster a commitment for repeat business, and talking about it to others.

Experiences categorised by customers in this zone will provide the kind of long-term loyalty that is both remarkably resilient and financially desirable.
