The workshop consists of the following two days:

Monday October 12th - Introduction to digital services

Content: The overall goal of day one is to introduce the concepts related to services and service society. We will discuss the features that distinguish products and services, and how business are moving towards service-dominant logic. We will also discuss platform mediated and ICT enabled digital services and their business models. Finally, we investigate how service innovation differs from product-oriented innovations.

Tuesday October 13th – Digital service development and design

Content: This day starts by introducing service development process and service design concepts. More specifically, we will take an overview to service development process and discuss differences of product and systems development and service development processes. Then we will focus on digital service design and investigate service blueprinting as a way to design services. Finally, we see how needs and requirements for digital services can be discovered, specifically if the target audience is consumers.
