Teaching Service Design in Nairobi

Background: As part of a capacity building initiative by the Rockefeller Foundation and UN Women, Expedition Mondial was in charge of designing and delivering a week long course in Customer Journey Mapping at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture & Technology (JKUAT) in Nairobi, Kenya. 

The purpose of the course was to give the students tools and methods for understanding the customer perspective in product, service and system development processes. Furthermore the course taught the students how to build a platform for collecting, visualizing, pinpointing and communicating insights and customer needs. This in order for the students to ensure they create desirable solutions that truly fit the user's context and meet their expectations.

The course resulted in a one week in-depth experience of service design, giving 30 master students customized tools for understanding customer needs in their future work as agricultural experts. Four of the students were also given the chance to participate as research assistants in a service design research project performed within the same initiative founded by the Rockefeller Foundation.

Unionen is improving their digital advisory support together with their members

Background: In a survey among the members who have been calling the Swedish trade union Unionen for advisory support, 60% of them had first tried to find help at the union website. The reason why they decided to call the support was that they could not find the right help online or that they did not trust the general information given on the platform to be relevant for them as individuals. This is the reason for why Unionen wanted to develop their online platform in order to meet the needs of their members to more easily access relevant individual information, instead of calling the advisory support.

Background: SE Forum is a non profit organisation based in Sweden that advocates responsible business solutions to address local and global challenges. They promote, inspire and empower entrepreneurs from all over the world to use business to do good. SE Outreach Accelerator is SE Forum's accelerator program for social entrepreneurs focusing on solving social and environmental issues in emerging markets.

The ideas in the 2017 years program concerned areas such as solar power, agriculture, sanitation, recycling, education, ethical fashion and health care driven by entrepreneurs from seven different countries across the world.

The purpose: During their two week long program event in Stockholm, Expedition Mondial trained and coached the entrepreneurs within the accelerator program in Design Thinking. The purpose was to give them tools, knowledge and understanding in how they can co-create relevant offerings and businesses together with their customers.

The result: We trained the seven entrepreneurs in the process and the mindset of design thinking, coached them in the tools and steps of the process. They were also given tools and templates to support their process and to be able to continue the explorative work together with their team. During the following four months the entrepreneurs successfully implemented their knowledge together with their teams, given them the opportunity to continuously understand and meet the challenges of their customers.
