What if you could go back in time, and join up with Alan Cooper, Jared Spool, Don Norman, Jakob Nielsen, and others to help forge the UX community into what it is today? What would it be like to be a founding member of the driving force behind virtually every (decent) product on Earth? Guess what, you kind of can! Where the traditional role of UX has been to fight for the user by designing usable & functional software and websites, in the age of the IoT (Internet of Things) every experience of soft and hardware bleeds into the next. The wares we design (and unfortunately those we don't) are no longer isolated elements, but a network of experiences and combinations. Service Design is the present, and future of bringing all of these isolated elements together under one design umbrella. Service Design is the future of UX, and probably your next career move!

Service Blueprints are the standard method
to illustrate these processes and evidence.
This is Service Design Thinking, Stickdorn/Schneider

42. What is a
Experience map?
(Also called Customer Journey Map)
It provides a vivid, but structured visualization of a
service user’s experience. The touchpoint where
users interact with the service are often used in
order to construct a “journey” — an engaging story
based upon their experience. This story details their
service interactions and accompanying emotions…
This is Service Design Thinking, Stickdorn/Schneider
