LIVING SERVICES

WE’VE COME A LONG WAY

LIVING?• They constantly learn more about our needs, intents,

preferences, and change in real time.

• They are very proximate to us in the environment- think

wearables and nearables.

HOW CAN BUSINESS ADDRESS

LIVING SERVICES?

KNOW

YOUR CUSTOMER

01

FLEX

YOUR TECHNOLOGY

02

DESIGN…

IN ORDER TO KNOW AND FLEX

03

BECAUSE THEY WILL BE

DESIGNED AROUND

INDIVIDUALS

HOW TO DO THIS?

CROSS ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE: LIVING OPERATIONS?If Living Services change in real time…

• Implication is that there needs to be concerted operation

changing behind them

• Radical shifts in organisational culture may be required

• Silos and efficiency for its own sake will yield to flexibility

• And higher local autonomy

• Evolution at customer speed

• Tackle complexity (touchpoints, sensors, data)

AIM FOR NOTHING LESS THAN TRANSFORMATIONAL SERVICES

• Top down reconfiguration

• Driven by need to flex and know, growing fusion of roles – CMO

and CIO and rise of CXO

• Living Services enable transformation rather than just service, or

experience

• This is at the top of economic value

EMBRACE CONTINUOUS DESIGN AND DESIGN RESEARCH

• Gear the business to constantly follow customer journeys

• Plan for frequent updates to user experience

• Understand your customers and anticipate their needs

• Bottom up reconfiguration too…

• Those tasked with design, build and product development will

need to fuse different skills with an understanding of data

management

• Build on trust: living brands

A BRAVE NEW WORLDFOR BRANDS?

BUT THE DUNBAR MAP

IS DIFFERENT FOR EACH PERSON SO…

PREPARE TO ATOMISE

TO MAKE YOUR BRAND FEEL ALIVE

• Provide just the right services on cue

• Build aware platforms

• A world of brand plugs and sockets

• Brands let go of control – embrace co-production

• Digital treaties and alliances

• Operate across organizational boundaries – internal and

external

• Understand the limits of your reach and trust

• Living brands

THE IMPACT ON DESIGN

DESIGN WITH DATA IN MIND


• User and context

• Capture granular behaviour

• Map the appropriate content in real time

• Aim to correctly anticipate intent

• Means that components need to be very granular too

• To be constructed into tailored responses

• Achieve continuous service change

DESIGN FOR HUMAN BANDWIDTH


• Bodies become controller and interface

• Children expect environments to be interactive

• As natural user interfaces grow (NUIs) consider the body as a

device

• What are the quickest and most reliable ways to

upload/download data?

• In changing context? Eg running, working, driving

• Seek to create digital habits based on physical routine

• Philips/Emotiv ALS project demonstrates this

HUMAN TO MACHINE BODY LANGUAGE


• Human to machine body language felt through

- gestures

- intent

- face speed

• Potential for gesture conflict

• Voice (and other) privacy concerns

• Design to match mental mechanics:

system one and system two
