From Journeys to Moments…

In every customer journey are transition, pause, or waiting points. What could steer a customer’s perceptions or feelings in a negative direction? What could delight them? Moment design focuses on making these periods of time memorable and meaningful for customers as they engage with a product or service. In this Masterclass, we continue to learn Service Design techniques for designing memorable Moments.

A classic example of moment design is the problem of waiting (in a restaurant) or, in this case, airport dining (see timer basket below). One of the big fast food chains to implement this early on (late 90s) was Olive Garden. As customers waited on benches at the entrance, they would give customers a timer and a glass of wine (or two, on Friday nights), which filled the moment with conversation, wine, and a tab (hint: the alcohol costs as much as the food it seemed). Happy customer, waiting ignored, lines managed– and a bigger bill at the end of the night.

Learn Service Design techniques…

In this Masterclass we dive into a core Service Design area that is implicated in the infamous Moment of Truth or “MOT”. The MOT is where customers love or hate your brand experience. Why is this significant? Because NPS (Net Promoter Score), emotional reflection (intent to use, intent to purchase), word of mouth and customer satisfaction are all attributed to what happens in Moments. So, moments are critical to architect for services and product-service experiences.

Attributed to the early 90s work of Angus Jenkinson, moments are sacred in CX/UX work because they represent intense hotbeds of emotion. In Emotion Design you want to support, shape or get out of the way of customer emotions. While Jenkinson attributes the concept of the “Moment of Truth” to his industry clients, he probably thought more about this than anyone, making him an early Service Design contributor. He also promoted personas and created the idea of touchpoints, which is a key design target in Service Design.

Why moments are the key to memorable product-service experiences in Service Design

First, Moments exist within Stages of a Journey. For example, going to the restaurant…Waiting to be seated, Ordering food and drinks etc. Touchpoints happen within those moments. For example, where to park, where to indicate “We’re here”, getting a menu, asking a question about an allergy. Touchpoints need to be smooth, thought out and carefully executed.

Next, touchpoints happen within Moments. A customer might not remember a touchpoint, but they do remember a Moment. This is why moment design is so critical to address. In this Masterclass, Frank Spillers will guide you through a clearer understanding of how to design Moments that accomodate better journeys and more strategic touchpoint design.
