The Practical Service Design blueprinting guide and template made it quick and easy for me to start doing Service Design. Immediately, results were noticeable. The entire team felt more aligned and communication between service users and stakeholders flowed more freely. The Practical Service Design blueprint tied the knowledge we gathered throughout the project to the user interface designs and became a living document everybody on the team would reference to track progress, induct new team members and communicate the end goal.

Using the PSD blueprinting approach our large financial services organization was able to conceptualize and collaborate on a new service to reduce fraud. The blueprint was our anchor for how we wanted the applicant's experience to be not only safer, but better.
