This special DigiListen is all about Good Services with service designer and author Lou Downe.
Most of the services we use every day are not designed to meet our needs. In fact, most of the services we use every day weren’t designed at all.
In the rush to create new and innovative experiences, many services today have overlooked the one crucial thing we need from them: to be able to do what we set out to do with as little friction as possible.
In this episode, Ross McCulloch and Maddie Stark chat through highlights from our Zoom call with Lou, looking at how you can design services that work.
