The services any organisation provides are referred to in various ways, e.g. &amp;quot;journeys&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;pathways&amp;quot;, cases, processes etc. These all fall under the broader umbrella term &amp;quot;Service Design&amp;quot;.

Failures in service design result in service fragmentation and siloed behaviours, inefficient operations and service user dissatisfaction.

The &amp;quot;Service Design&amp;quot; discipline relies on visual and facilitation techniques, generating outputs in the form of &amp;quot;post-its&amp;quot;, graphical pictures of end-to-end flows etc. Service design is typically resource intensive, expensive and time-consuming in itself, even before implementation work commences. Nor is Service Design defined as a simple, repeatable methodology.

**OUR APPROACH**

At NolijWork, we're working on simplifying &amp;quot;Service Design&amp;quot;, making it accessible to non-experts, shortening timescales and reducing the cost and effort involved, by codifying a new methodological approach through software.

In particular, we've identified a number of simplification techniques, including how a monolithic service is reduced to a series of modular outcomes, which are in turn, easy to define.

Ultimately we wish our SaaS software platform to be recognised as &amp;quot;Google Maps for Services&amp;quot;.

**BENEFIT**

Users will benefit from being able to analyse and design joined-up services, in a simple and intuitive manner, without the need for specialist analyst or technical skills.

The aim is to provide a &amp;quot;paint by numbers&amp;quot; service design methodology, akin to simply entering data in a spreadsheet.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
