Abstract

Designing services as systems is increasingly important. Those in healthcare and government don’t have much of a choice. However, envisioning services as systems is a hurdle. The trouble is from commonplace definitions of ‘service’ and ‘system’. But what if they are one and the same? An approach to communicating the designs of services in the form of strategic narratives, involves solving a puzzle to generate the story. The puzzle represents the duality of system and service. The “proof of work” reflects the difficulty in designing services as systems.
