Ambidextrous Service Design: How to see what else is possible

Day 2 Keynote:  December 1, 2020

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Michael Rosemann

Keynote Description: The dominating focus of our service management and governance practice is focused on protecting the core and addressing identified risks and problems. This materializes in our attention to pain points, operational efficiency and the narrative of a sense of urgency. However, organisations do not capitalize on today’s opportunity-rich environment, if they just exploit their current operating model. An explorative view and a sense of ambition needs to complement strategies and actions to ensure a revenue-resilient organisation. This 60 minute keynote will introduce the notion of ambidextrous service design and a number of operational techniques helping service designers in identifying ‘what else is possible’. These design patterns trigger pathways to new customer experiences and business opportunities, in particular in those cases where customer insights are no longer sufficient. Various case studies will exemplify how these techniques have been used in practice and unlocked new revenue potential.

Key messages:

• Ambidextrous innovation: Exploitation and exploration

• The shortfalls of operational efficiency and fixing pain points

• Why you cannot rely on customer insights

• Process Design Patterns:  How to see what else is possible
