Research Focus: Digital Integration and Service SystemsProblem identification → Design validation → Implementation

Three-step solution method

  1. Map the service journey from purchase and first use through maintenance and updates.
  2. Clarify how access points, resources and people work together at each stage.
  3. Ask users to explain the service journey in their own words to test how easily it is understood.

Key Deliverables

  • Product and Service Map
  • Support Access Points
  • User Resources

Verification Approach

Check how users find services, understand responsibilities and seek help.
