Description

'Good Services' by Lou Downe is a must buy book on Service Design and how to Design great services. Most of the services we use every day aren’t designed to meet our needs. In fact, most of the services we use every day weren’t designed at all

In the rush to create new and innovative experiences, services today have overlooked the one crucial thing we need from them: to be able to do what we set out to do with as little friction as possible

This is book is not about ‘great services’, ‘unique services’, ‘thrilling’ or ‘magical’ services. It won’t tell you how to ‘wow’ your users with something they didn’t expect, or build something that the world has never seen before

This book will tell you how to design a service that your users can find, understand and use without having to ask for help

It will tell you how to not disappoint your users, and make sure they can do the thing they set out to do

In a nutshell, it will help you to make services that work.
