What is service blueprinting?

Service blueprinting is a method for mapping out all elements of a service and how they work together to deliver the user experience. Creating a service blueprint can be a critical first step in a service design project, helping an organisation gain a comprehensive picture of the service it provides, what works and what doesn’t—ultimately providing a map of innovation and improvement opportunities.

One of our expert senior facilitators, Simon Gough, appeared on our Design Thinkers Podcast to talk about service blueprinting and its uses. If you want to learn more about service blueprinting, you can find the episode here.
