Service Thinking

When we look an object the real value is in the use that it can offer – not in technological or physical attributes. The important question: What is it for? Well then, in asking this question we are looking for the real function of a product. All other attributes such as usability, aesthetics and technological aspects came after we have answered the real use of the product. And doing so, we are starting to understand the experience of the consumer.

The curiosity and desire to understand the artifact is the first step to look the products with a service lens. The value is the use! And for that, we need to create a "servitization" process of things, in other words, reverse the order and prioritize the services that are behind the success of innovative products.

The presentation will show through an example of a brazilian bank how service design looks at the whole value chain of the relationship between the user and the service that stands behind all products. And how the strategy is built internally.
