Snippet from the Touchpoint article:
Companies need a new approach to measuring services; one that is more precise and comprehensive and is linked to specific journey steps across the customer lifecycle. It should be grounded in deep insights into customer needs and motivations, and connect to business and operational measurements, such as costs or efficiency. Preferably, an approach that can easily be scaled for a consistent and transparent way of monitoring service performance — unlocking an organisation-wide practice of informed prioritisation of tactical and strategic efforts. In short, an approach that allows service performance measurements to be a decision-making tool.

From AI to Synthetic Services

AI continues to disrupt our work as service designers, fundamentally changing the way we design, deliver and analyse services. The advances are rapid as well, presenting new opportunities while at the same time forcing us to answer some challenging questions on where and how its capabilities are deployed. This issue of Touchpoint answers an ongoing need in our community to learn from each other - as well as those outside our field - to confidently apply AI, as well as know where it should be avoided.
