About the workshop
In this workshop we discovered the beta version of a new framework to navigate complex environments.
The framework uses metaphors which interconnect and help draw a map of realities & possibilities, and highlight relationships to foster new narratives.
This is a tool to help organisations do either diagnosis or prospective work about a current situation and/or a potential challenge/problem. The aim is to enable organisations to find direction, develop a portfolio of strategies, or simply make better decisions.
It is built around 4 main concepts:
- Oceans – The type of environment(s) the organisation is navigating in (eg. market);
- Archetypes – The type of organisational behaviours and related heuristics;
- Landscape – The type of contextual structures that exist within/around the organisation and provide capabilities and constraints;
- Monsters – The type of challenges and obstacles.
Insights for Service Design: from monolithic to multilayered
One of the main insights from this event for service designers is to think about services as real organisms that have multiple sides. In fact, services and organisations are much nearer to how a person behaves than how an object behaves.
So instead of categorising one organisation or service in one "Ocean"(1), we should recognise that one service or organisation can play multiple different roles in many different oceans. One part of your service might be competing in an existing market full of competitors, when another feature or part of your service might have nearly no competition.
As humans, services can play different roles in different settings.
(1) Traditionally a company is either competing in a red ocean, an existing market with many competitors, or in a blue ocean, a market yet to be discovered with no competitors.
