Service Design Packages
We know that re-designing your services can be difficult, and Service Design can seem like an open-ended concept.
To make things easier for our nonprofit customers, we've introduced a range of Service Design Packages that will give you:
- Clearly defined outputs
- Estimated timescales to deliver
- Amount of committment from your team
- Indicative costs to allow for budgeting
- An understanding of what comes next
Introduction to Service Design Training
Equip your team with the skills and knowledge to carry out internal service design projects. Participants will learn how a design approach can improve services and gain practical insights for designing user-centric experiences. You'll get five training blocks covering the whole process from discovery to delivery through a series of collaborative exercises:
- Intro to Service Design: what is it, and why are organisations adopting this way of working?
- Discover: An introduction to research methods, with practical activities to put new knowledge into practice.
- Define: Explore the problem before solving – we‘ll coach you in analysis methods to explore and explain challenges.
- Develop: Explore methods to create solutions. These methods help inspire new, innovative ideas that tackle your issues.
- Deliver: Refine and develop your ideas, and get ready to test a service prototype with your users.
Fixed costs of £2,610 ex VAT (assumes a one-day training course with up to 10 attendees)

A bespoke service
We offer a range of services, whether you want to review a process, a whole service, or even your organisational design. We also offer design and research services for smaller projects such as reviewing the content and usability of online forms and websites or carrying out an impact evaluation. Our services are bespoke and we can recommend a package that will fit your needs and budget.
We recommend thinking about service design at an early point in your project, before coming up with a solution.
