PLAN. EXPERIENCE. REDESIGN.

Service Experience South is a new summer course that allows you to learn about service design from a user perspective.

How do you improve and innovate services? Start from experiencing them!

It is a learning journey based on observation, interaction and reflection: practicing service design tools and methods for daily life experiences.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

You will test five different services, one experience a day: from interactions to touchpoints, acting as a real customer and collecting insights for service improvement and innovation. The city of Siracusa will act as a playground for your service experiences that will increase in complexity and include some touristic services. 

You will work in team and will manage a small budget to engage and use the services.

Every day you will receive a new challenge about a specific service in Siracusa. You will have to find that service, book, pay, experience it and leave it, collecting relevant information, mapping stakeholders, identify opportunities for design intervention. You will be visualising and prototyping solutions to present and share with the rest of the group on the following morning. 

Your mission is to use a range of service design tools and methods to improve the user journey experience and innovating the service value proposition: identifying pain-points, generate ideas, perform small redesign interventions. 

WHO IS IT FOR?

Service Experience South is for international professionals who want to put theory into practice.

We recommend this course to people who:

• have some basic theoretical knowledge of service design
• want to practice tools and methods and seek for hand-on workshops
• want to apply service design on real life contexts 
• like the idea of a “work-ation” summer camp
