Identification of the service product is the first step for creating a Lean Service Design.
Use this worksheet to identify Service Products. You will:
1. Name the service/product groups of your department/organization:
2. Narrow that number to seven that you are most familiar with or create yourself.
After completing worksheet, check your work: Do you answer yes to the following
questions?
This exercise is derived from the book Creating a Customer-Centered Culture, and the
following is the author’s explanation on how to check your work. If you answer yes to
any of the following, you have not created a service product.
Is these Service Products (SP) something only you or your immediate work group
can claim as yours? For example, a service product name of policy or plan isn’t
specific enough to claim ownership. Such labels represent whole classes of service
products (SP). There are probably others who would also claim these SP as theirs.
Can you make the SP plural? If the label you wrote is followed by “—ing,” it is an
activity, not a SP product. The SP is the tangible deliverable that is created by activity.
Results like satisfaction, assurance, and security also are not service products. They are
outcomes (intangible results or conditions) obtained by using the SP.
Does the SP, as named, occur in countable units? Information can only be considered
as a SP by the various forms it takes. Reports, graphs, answers, proposals, plans, and
manuals are examples of information products. Information is raw material, delivered
to others in some organized or packaged form.
Is the Service Product intended to mate a desired outcome or result for a customer?
Satisfaction, security, fun, profit, productivity, and knowledge are outcomes your SP
might create. Some people confuse outcomes with the SP itself. Direction and
leadership are sometimes used by leaders of the organization. The true SP are policies,
plans, and strategies which, when used by others, propel the organization in a desired
direction. These types of SP are more complicated than the others, and for the moment
I would stay away from using them. Leadership is a skill or outcome, not a SP.

on Feasibility

S: Sense-making: Give meaning to experience
• Create a point of view statement that defines the efforts
to understand connections which can be among people,
places, and events.
• Understanding the problem space is many times as
important as understanding the user.

When developing a service design you must be able to articulate the value of it. The first step is determining why you do it. In this enclosed worksheet worksheet, complete the
three step process for one of the previous determined service products from the previous lesson. If you are the adventurous type complete it for several for he other service
products.

Point of View
LSDT Workbook

A: Analyze the user
• Define and study the user to develop insights as a
starting point for defining value.
• Review and focus on the service period to determine
the pre-service, service and post service durations.
• What are the points of concern?
Actors
LSDT Workbook

L: Locate people who understand the process
• List the members of your team
• Including position and role they will play.

Initial Message: Every organization is in transition. Some are growing. Some are declining. Some are stagnating while the world around them
changes their relative position. You can’t stop change. But you can choose to lead evolutionary or step change transformations instead of being a
caretaker along for the ride. Transformational leadership is all about creating and sustaining a high performing team by helping that team be different,
be strong and be committed. It’s about moving from vagueness, avoidance, and fear, to clarity, discipline and confidence.
Be different: Start with a genuinely shared purpose
Be strong: Deploy plans based on tough strategic choices
Get the right people in the right roles
Drive the practice of executional excellence
Be committed: Shape the culture with a communication campaign.
Shared Purpose: We must get the organization aligned around a vision and values. You can’t lead people to a different future unless they can see it.
Vision and mission statements tend to get overused to the point of becoming hollow words. But having some sort of inspiring vision, mission,
imperative or whatever is essential to motivating people. It is the core part of your communication.
What is the burning platform? Why is change needed? And why now? Can you Magnify the gap between the current and desired states?
People: Getting the right people in the right roles is essential for a high performing team. One way to think about this use a matrix across to highlight
skills required on team. Try to build a diverse team that will support, communicate and respect each other.

E: Empower the Team
• Team is autonomous and completely responsible for the
tasks within this stage
• Clarity is most critical factor for empowering a team
• Why are we doing this project? Is it clear to all participants?
• What are we going to do? How will it be measured?
• Who is responsible for each task? Who does it involve?
• How must is to be accomplished? How do we review?
• Where will it take place? Where can the data be found?
• When must it be complete?
• Outline Meetings, Daily Stand-ups, Weekly Tactical,
Monthly Strategic and others

chain that supports the customer’s journey

Opportunities: External to organization; What might be
Aspirations: Internal to organization; What should be
Results: External to organization; What will be
Key Leverage Points:
Opportunities we can leverage our strengths against (where we play and win)
Business KPIs:
Key Performance Indicators that we can measure over extended period of time
SOAR is a great method to use for expanding on the positive areas of an
organization. It normally is much easier to gain buy-in from stakeholders with this
approach versus others.

• Analyze and optimize: isolating and testing the key
assumptions that will drive success or failure of a concept
• Rapid Prototyping: express a new concept in a tangible
form for exploration, testing, and refinement
• Customer Co-Creation: enroll customers to participate in
creating solution that best meets their needs

“Prototypes are a way of thinking out loud. You want the right people thinking out loud with you.” – Paul MacCready
Try prototyping your 3 ideas and at this point reflecting on only these 4 questions:
What worked? What could be improved? What additional questions were raised? What new ideas did it generate?
