In this talk, provided free of charge for library workers in the state of Florida, you will learn key service design techniques that focus on optimizing every interaction a customer has with the library—from seamless book checkouts to easy event registrations, efficient study room bookings, and simplified access to digital journals. Attendees will learn how to create a more intuitive and cohesive experience across all library touchpoints, fostering a more accessible and responsive environment for the people it serves.

Service Blueprinting 101

Service blueprinting, as a core component of service design, can be a helpful tool in the early stages of prototyping an idea.

I created this short presentation for the Innovation for Justice course and thought I’d share it here. It covers:

  • Why services are often complicated: variety of players, channels, and interdependencies
  • What service blueprints do: visualize processes across swim lanes
  • Characteristics of service blueprints: comprehensive, specific, iterative
  • Examples of service blueprints
  • Considerations for creating a service blueprint: your audience, level of fidelity, and goals
