Thinking Beyond Service Experience Design Masterclass 2022

Service Experience Design is increasingly finding its way into service oriented organisations, as they realise that customer and stakeholder experiences are becoming important business objectives. These experiences are also a means to differentiate business offerings from the competition, as consumers increasingly expect more personalised or thoughtful encounters. Brands are now relying on Service Experience Design to create innovative and relevant experiences for their people, partners, products and processes.

While Service Experience Design tools can be easily implemented to add value to a company’s operations for greater customer experience, it is important to simultaneously think about both service and physical space designs together. This will improve the quality and the interaction between service provider and customers for better brand engagement.

This course covers foundational theory and case studies to provide a broad view of the skills, methods, and tools employed by service experience designers. Lessons are supplemented with ONG&ONG’s 360 Design Solution approach to the user experience design and its orientation towards practical methods for dealing with design problems.

The programme is a partnership with ONG&ONG who has nearly 50 years of providing companies with design-driven solutions and aid in achieving branding objectives across Singapore, Asia and beyond.

TOUR OF HEARTBEAT@BEDOK*

Heartbeat@Bedok is a pioneering mixed-use civic building prototype that is also highly sustainable. Aside from winning an American Architecture Prize in 2017, it has been a repeated finalist at the World Architecture Festival: first in 2015 for its concept design, and again, in 2018 as a completed building. In 2019, it was catalogued in the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design for being among the most design-forward buildings around the world.

The Bedok Public Library is co-located within Heartbeat@Bedok. Its design has been featured in the National Library Board Singapore’s book “The Remaking of Singapore Public Libraries” for the clever use of furniture to intuitively define spaces for users and its innovations for the elderly.
