expose the processes that are part of delivering a service. It also enables us to connect the various components of a service to one another from frontstage to backstage. Blueprints aim to represent the service system. JOURNEY MAPPING Illustrates the journey of a person or type participating in a service over time. Other dimensions are sometimes added such as high points, breakdowns, emotions and touchpoints. THE ACTION LINE OF A BLUEPRINT IS THE CUSTOMER JOURNEY 68
process • the points of customer contact • the evidence of service from the key user’s point of view • The backstage services The concept of Service Blueprinting was developed in 1982 by G. Lynn Shostack and has been further refined and put into practice since then by researchers including M. J. Bitner, A.L. Ostrom and F. N. Morgan. 69 SERVICE BLUEPRINTING AND JOURNEY MAPPING

aid in concepting. This template is also a quick and easy way to get a sense of the scope of service design projects. Fjord Service Design Academy Service Design Methods Workshop Service Scenario+Blueprint SCENARIO On Post-it notes draw a scenario of a person engaged in the service experience. Draw each scene of the story on a separate Post-it. Remember to think about all the different stages of the service experience but pay particular attention to Designing for Love. SERVICE STAGE ATTRACT I become aware of the service REWARD I get extra benefits ADVOCATE OF COURSE. I find my ways of adapting and using and begin to suggest ‘you must try this service!’ LEARN WOW! I explore how it might work for me POST | AFTERGLOW I’m done or I’ve grown out of the service PRE-SERVICE COMMIT AHA! I get the service and try it EVALUATE Should I engage? TOUCHPOINTS (POINTS OF INTERACTION) Create little sketches of the touchpoints for each stage of the service journey The touchpoints can be anything people interact with during their experience. These can range from a website to a company delivery man and mobile to desktop to sensor. BACKSTAGE (OPERATIONAL PROVIDERS) Think of all the people that are needed to support the service experience. On this level write on post-its all the people that are not visible to the customer. E.g. a chef is very rarely seen by the customer, yet they are necessary to provide the experience expected in a restaurant. STAKEHOLDERS On this level write down all the organizations (e.g. partner companies) or people that could potentially be interested in implementing or impacting the service delivery.

Posters can consist of categories like concept name, key stakeholders, features and benefits, value statements, unmet user needs, pricing, time to develop, cost to develop, and a sketched illustration.
