designing for serviceis hard

You are iteratively planning and constructing a servicesystem or architecture to deliver resources that choreographa design experience.

but when a company provides the optimal mix—they will have produced a resonating service system thatwill deliver a clear experience advantage.

What is service design? Whydoes it matter? What's critical?

Robert Glushko is an Adjunct Full Professor at theUniversity of California at Berkeley School ofInformation where he teaches and writes on servicedesign focusing on the contribution of the service's"back stage" where materials or information needed bythe front stage are processed.

Designing “Service Systems”

19 March 2009

Is “Service” a Homonym?

Personal Service Self-Service Web Service

If these are all “services,” are there any design concepts

and methods apply to all of them?

Service Design Patterns

• Adjusting the absolute and relative amount

of interpersonal, physical, and

informational interaction

• Adjusting the line of visibility

• Choosing a point of view

• Scoping the service system and the size of

the “touchpoint windows”

Service Design Contexts

• Front stage – the continuum from “Personal service” to “Self-service”

• Back-stage intensive

• Multiple devices

• Multiple channels

• Location-based

Each design context emphasizes different goals and constraints and has characteristic design methods

Service encounters can include:

Deconstructing Front Stage “Service”

(Apte & Mason)

• Interpersonal interaction

• Physical interactions

• Information processing and interchange

… Technology changes these proportions

• Person-to-person, technology-enhanced P2P, and self-

service form a continuum

• Information can augment interpersonal and

physical interactions

• And can also replace them

Telepresence & Telerobotics

Front Stage and Back Stage

Front Stage: where interactions with

service customer / consumer happen

Back Stage: produces information and

“stuff” needed by front stage

Placement of “line of visibility”

is a design parameter

Delivery Service

Point of View

Designate some actor or service as the

focal / primary consumer or customer

Typically the end of value chain or

information flow, or where “users” are

Often arbitrary, and other actors or

services could be alternative POVs

Who is the Service Customer?

No, I am.

I am.

In a Cooking School?

Multichannel Service System

Physical Store Virtual Store

Multidevice Service Systems

Location-Based /

Context-Aware Services

Location-based Service Context-aware Service

Service System Scope

• Design techniques for person-to-person services typically describe the service from the perspective of the customer and emphasize the “touch points”

• But the scope extends before and after these touch points

• The scope is more complex with multiple channels, multiple devices, or location-based services

• Complex service experiences are paths that traverse through multiple service systems

A Methodology?

• “Service system” is too broad for a

prescriptive design methodology

• Iterative scoping (and defining the POV in)

the service system determines relative

importance of each context

• Choose a portfolio of appropriate design

methods for the combination of contexts

How we do it

We are driving innovation at the frontlines of healthcare bybringing together best of class methods in innovation, design andimplementation.

There are 3 key parts to this.

We use a proven methodologycreated by IDEO, a world renowndesign firm to develop andprototype ideas based on humanneeds.

ABOUT the Consultancy

Our Kaiser Innovation Consultancy (IC) is a group of creative people who help

challenge conventional thinking to develop human-centered designs and solutions.

Our ultimate goal is to positively impact the work experience of our employees

and the health of our KP members. We test out the usability of new products, workflows and

space designs, and conduct simulations in real and mock patient environments. We work

together with our KP employees, physicians, and members to better understand challenges

and develop and prototype human-centered ideas using proven methodologies from

both IDEO and IHI

Medication Administration: Interruptions droppedby 50%, Process reliability increased, Medicationerrors reduced; spread across KP and abroad

Nurse Shift Changes: Nurses got to see patientsat the start of their shift 3x faster under NKE pilot.Patient satisfaction measuring “I understood my planof care” increased. Sought out by outside institutionsas best practice in nurse shift changes.

In the United States alone…

………7,000 deaths each year are caused by medication errors*

………1.5 million people each year are “harmed” by medication errors

………1 medication error per day per hospital patient

………$3.5 billion is spent each year treating medication injuries

*1999 report “To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System”

In 2007…

A cross-regional effort began which focused on Medication Administration.

Kaiser’s Innovation Consultancy, supported by Quality and Safety, Patient Care

Services and KP HealthConnect, was commissioned to frame the problem, and

generate and try out ideas with front-line staff from three Kaiser Hospitals.

• Hayward

• West Los Angeles

• South Sacramento

Creating a Case for Change

7

Nurses were asked to draw the first thing that came totheir mind when they thought of “MedicationAdministration”

These drawings by nurses in Hayward and WLA

summarized the voice of the nurses across the pilot

sites.

-Chaotic

-Interruptions

-Unclear Process

Ask 12 nurses how they “Administer Medications” and you

will get 12 di!erent answers…

“I open my medications in the med room so I can get them

ready to go for the patient. It makes it easier.”

“I wait and open each medication in the room. That way the

patient can see that it is clean, if they don’t take it, it’s not

wasted. If they do take it we can double check the medication

together.”

Observations and Storytelling

8

• For two-days in April 2007, over 70 people (nurses, doctors, pharmacists,experts and leaders) gathered at the Garfield Center to hear the stories,stretch thinking and then brainstorm ideas.

• They came up with hundreds of ideas, some of them inspired by theanalogous observations

–Pharma TV

–MedBed

–Self-Administration

–Sacred Zones

–Sterile Cockpit

Pilot Results: 2 hospitals, 4 units–50% reduction in the number of sta! interruptions to the medication administrationprocess

–15% faster per med pass from approximately 10:00 to 8:30 (minutes:seconds)–18% increase in On-Time Med Passes from 61% to 79%–Significant increase in process reliability from 33% to 78%

Financial Value of Innovation Consultancy’s KP MedRite Project–If we avoided 3 medication errors, the project has paid for itself.

Because of the increased nurse and patient satisfaction and the results above, KPMedRite is spreading to all 32 Kaiser Permanente hospitals

Youʼve been brought in to advise William Watt Electricians on howthey should approach the development of this new service.

➜ How would you approach the problem?➜ And why is it the right approach?

moving towardsgreener homes

Service Goal: Make homesmore energy-efficient

GOOD NEWS: huge number of service opportunities

BAD NEWS: huge number of service opportunities

Overall Strategy

• Use the 7 contexts to organize your design thoughts– Assess competencies wrt each context

• People, consulting (front stage) skills?• Troubleshooting, repair (back stage) skills?• Integration (multichannel) skills?• Technology user or technology driver?

– Identify stakeholders wrt each context– Brainstorm potential services wrt each context

Service Approaches

Person-to-Person• Consultancy• Qualitative Assessments• Energy Consumption Diary Technology-Enabled

• Assessments based on installed sensors, usage statistics•Connect to home network?• Proposals would show ROI

Collaboration with • Home builders• Utility companies (for referrals)• Local governments

Self-service technology• For consumers who want the experience of “being greener”, install devices that they control or that keep track of their energy usage

Service Approaches

Remote Monitoring• Can these devices be accessed remotely?• Can they be controlled remotely?• Integrate into Internet service?

Back stage technology

•Install devices that reduce energy use, but aren’t visible to consumers (tankless water heaters, insulation…)

Ok—but what services for Watt?perhaps Watt becomes the integratorfor all green related service provision?

or they install sensors and provideways to visualize behavior?

or sponsor community competitionsfor clean energy generation?
