First, we will examine the scope of various Service Design projects examining teams, employees, and systems involved in service delivery. Next, we break down orchestration tasks required by a Service Designer as she leads her team toward a cohesive service experience.

The power of orchestration

In Service Design, orchestration refers to coordinating and managing various service components to deliver a seamless and integrated experience for employees and customers. It involves designing and aligning the interactions, policies, procedures, and resources of multiple service providers, touchpoints, and moments. Therefore, orchestration is a complexity management technique that positions and aligns necessary actors, resources, and interactions in a user experience or service experience.

In service-oriented industries, many experiences are powered today by mobile apps. Where multiple parties contribute to the overall service delivery, orchestration becomes crucial. It ensures that the different components of the service work together efficiently, maximizing value for the customer and achieving the desired outcomes.
