…this paper examines some of the ways prototyping can support the understanding and development of value propositions.

Page 3: Service Prototyping from a Service Logic Perspective

Service logic… the value services provide for customers.

Page 4: Service Prototyping from a Service Logic Perspective

Service logic

“Value is always uniquely and phenomenologically determined by the beneficiary.”*

… the value services provide for customers.

* Vargo & Lusch (2008), foundational premise no. 10

Page 5: Service Prototyping from a Service Logic Perspective

Service logic

“suggested that service is a perspective on value creation and that value creation is best understood from the lens of the customer based on value in use”*

… the value services provide for customers.

* Edvardsson, Gustafsson & Roos (2005, p. 107)

Service logic

How can we understand that value?

… the value services provide for customers.

Participatory design

• Also called cooperative design

An approach to system development

9

Page 8: Service Prototyping from a Service Logic Perspective

Participatory design

• Partly politically motivated

• Users (customers) seen as partners, not as subjects.*

• Long tradition of working with collaborative techniques and methods

• ”Scandinavian” methods

An approach to system development

* Sanders, 2008

Participatory design

• Future workshops

• Prototypes that facilitate collaboration

An approach to system development

11

Page 10: Service Prototyping from a Service Logic Perspective

Service design

• Claims (and attempts) to include many stakeholders

• Intersection between design and management/marketing

• Research approaches differed

13

Page 11: Service Prototyping from a Service Logic Perspective

Service design

• Understand and describe customer journeys

• … and then design them

• Customer research important

• … but also prototyping

14

Service design

• Prototyping approach can also be applied to services.*Prototyping services…

Service design

• and the field of service prototyping is highlighted as a field which needs more research in the overview on research priorities for service by a large group of Arizona State University scholars*

Analysis

FP 4 Goods are a distribution mechanism for service provision

FP 6 The customer is always a co-creator of value

FP 7 The enterprise cannot deliver value, but only offer value propositions

FP 8 A service-centred view is inherently customer oriented and relational

(Vargo & Lusch, 2008)

18

Page 16: Service Prototyping from a Service Logic Perspective

Analysis

• The mediating function of goods are seen as an integrated part of the service systems service designers represent in prototypes.

• Long tradition of protoyping products. Service design builds on that knowledge.

FP 4.

Goods are a distribution mechanism for service provision

19

Page 17: Service Prototyping from a Service Logic Perspective

Analysis

• The customer is a part of the prototype in service design.

• Inclusion of actual people co-creating value allow designers to understand how the service is percieved by customers.

FP 6.

The customer is always a co-creator of value

20

Page 18: Service Prototyping from a Service Logic Perspective

Analysis

• Prototyping drives the design of the value proposition iteratively.

• The expressed value will be continuously updated during prototyping activities.

• Prototypes reveal problems or issues early.

FP 7.

The enterprise cannot deliver value, but only offer value propositions

21

Page 19: Service Prototyping from a Service Logic Perspective

Analysis

• Customer journeys visualise relations from the customer’s point of view.

• Prototyping makes services more attuned to customer needs and helps build a positive relation between customers and companies.

FP 8.

A service-centred view is inherently customer oriented and relational

22

Conclusions

• What can prototyping contribute to service dominant logic?

23

Page 21: Service Prototyping from a Service Logic Perspective

Conclusions

• It can help understand value (propositions)

• It can help understand customers’ perceived value-in-use

• Predict perceived value

24

Page 22: Service Prototyping from a Service Logic Perspective

Conclusions

• Inclusion

• Starting small and expanding

• By evaluating performance

• Seeing customers as partners
