Mission Driven Design
It's the pursuit of being purposeful in everything we do. Motivated by tackling any challenge together. Fixated down to the last detail. The unwavering focus on the goals and outcomes.
What we are…
We’re creators of design frameworks and experiential systems that allow you to achieve your design mission.
What We are not…
We’re not managers of social & marketing efforts, nor do we create ads, or maintain your website.
In short, our goal is to help our clients overcome and remove organizational roadblocks so that their design mission becomes clear and to better meet your customer’s needs.
For example, assume your business wants to increase your customer’s average order value—we want to help you achieve your goal without disrupting your current customer experience. But how? Do we use your current tech stack? Do we partner with a third-party vendor to expedite the outcome?
The answers depend on your organization. And the reality is that there are different design paths for every mission.
Service Design is at the core of every mission.
WE NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF THE LARGER PICTURE
Quickly, Service Design as the strategic connection of experiences across a user’s journey to create seamless transitions between. Each of our design disciplines have its own set of research activities and methods to achieve its stated goal. Each holds a valuable and necessary place in the design process to be successful. One practice cannot replace the other. However, when stacked together they become an unbreakable offering.
SERVICE DESIGN is not just a buzzword
-
As the Brits would say, “Mind the Gap.”
Often, organizations aren't considering how an experience fits into the current-state journey and affects others who deliver on the service. Other times, it can showcase what’s currently being worked on, successes and failures, and even possible obstacles.
-
Designing together is a powerful thing.
When running workshops, bringing people together from across the organization allows them not only to learn from each other, but more importantly to meet for the first time, put a face to a voice, and form relationships in real life. Additionally, working together increases the speed of delivery since everyone is on the same wavelength (and timezone).
-
A helpful tool to popularize.
Being able to view how future experiences work in harmony with both the current and future state of a service showcases the impact and projected results—arming clients with the information to demonstrate the potential of the service.
