Service designer
Turns observed client needs and delivery learning into testable service concepts and launch decisions.
The saved work
A service test compared with the existing process
Bounded internal test plan. End-client decision: which workstream commitments may responsibly be proposed for the next fortnight, which need a client decision, and which lack a verified evidence basis. The competent comparator is the existing monthly steering meeting and action register, with the four issue questions added manually to the ordinary pre-read. The proposed extra input is one versioned cross-period exception brief separating changed, unchanged and uncertain evidence, naming the responsible checker, and connecting each item to a decision. It does not replace the meeting or require software.
Included hypothetical per-cycle planning costs are preserved. Existing: Reviewer 0.75 hour at AUD180 = AUD135; Associate 1 hour at AUD90 = AUD90; total AUD225. Proposed: Reviewer 1 hour at AUD180 = AUD180; Associate 3 hours at AUD90 = AUD270; Upkeep 0.5 hour at AUD120 = AUD60; Tools one cycle at AUD25 = AUD25; total AUD535. Incremental planning cost: AUD310. Included items are only those listed. Setup, integration, overhead, support, extra assurance, tax and contingency are excluded or unverified. These are not a fee, savings, spend, capacity release, purchase, or approval; the tools allowance is not a purchase obligation.
A related local example. It shows the stated part of the work, not every step in this design. Read it in saved outputs
- What it works from
- Demand evidence, current service methods, capability, delivery costs, client feedback and test results
- What it prepares
- Service concept, experiment, operating design, economics and launch/defer/stop options
- Who keeps the decision
- Practice or firm leader
- Where its responsibility ends
- Cannot invent demand, approve launch/price, generalise client evidence without rights or promise business outcomes.
Part of a larger job
A responsibility can contribute to several workflows. Each one names the inputs, the human decision and the next handover.
