“Let me tell you a story….” – Storytelling, one of the most powerful ways to convey messages and a basic human need. <br><br>The workshop explores the role of storytelling in digital service design. With the constant rise of new emerging technologies, new challenges arise impacting various areas of design. Allowing for non-linear and more continuous experiences, the user is empowered to alter the course of the narrative and the way content is experienced and explored. <br><br>The static world of websites and apps is challenged by new technologies such as Google Cardboard, Oculus Rift, and connected devices, all of which require the creation of continuous, multi-routed storylines that Occulusinteraction Design is crafting and orchestrating, as interaction allows the user to be more deeply involved with the content the story thereof. Instead of presenting a linear feature, the user can follow various characters and affect the outcome of the story. This results in more dynamic stories and outcomes, captivating the user and enhancing the user experience.

THINK ABOUT THE SERVICES & PRODUCTS YOU USE Are there any that you … Are happy to pay a premium for even though another product would do the same job just fine? Go on and on about to your friends and don’t understand why they don’t want to use it, too? Are happy to use even if it doesn’t always work perfectly?
LEAN SERVICE CREATION There’s more to life than seeking solutions to problems
LEAN SERVICE CREATION We look for answers to big questions & seek meaningful experiences
LEAN SERVICE CREATION THE WORLD AND WHAT IT MEANS TO BE HUMAN STORIES ARE A WAY OF TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
LEAN SERVICE CREATION Can the experience of using a service be meaningful in the same way a story can?
YES! (IF IT’S DESIGNED TO DO SO)
LEAN SERVICE CREATION There are similarities between designing an experience and writing a story
LEAN SERVICE CREATION But also differences: The story a service creates is not linear and doesn’t deal with conflict the same way
LEAN SERVICE CREATION ALSO A DISCLAIMER Does not replace other service design methods, but useful as an additional lens Requires seamless collaboration between branding, service design & UX/UI design
Why we care about storytelling in digital Service Design? Storytelling is all about experiences Storytelling about & inside the services we create Who doesn’t like a good story?

1) WHAT IS THE STORY ABOUT?
A GOOD STORY Has a clear reason to exist Makes a statement about the world Resonates with people who share those beliefs From “Story” by Robert McKee & “Start With Why” by Simon Sinek
LEAN SERVICE CREATION A good story can be distilled into a CONTROLLING IDEA From “Story” by Robert McKee
Example: The Lion King Evil is defeated when you come to terms with your past and take responsibility +
Example: The Lion King CHANGE IN VALUE VALUE Evil is defeated when you come to terms with your past and take responsibility + CAUSE Structure of a controlling idea from “Story” by Robert McKee
Example: The Lord of the Rings CHANGE IN VALUE VALUE Peace is restored when ordinary people have courage + CAUSE Structure of a controlling idea from “Story” by Robert McKee
Example: Coca-Cola CHANGE IN VALUE VALUE Happiness ensues when you have special, refreshing moments CAUSE Structure of a controlling idea from “Story” by Robert McKee
Example: Apple CHANGE IN VALUE VALUE Life is more enjoyable when you do things differently CAUSE Structure of a controlling idea from “Story” by Robert McKee
LEAN SERVICE CREATION Controlling ideas drive action and drive you to make decisions! “It’s about peace” is a theme, not a controlling idea From “Story” by Robert McKee
Should be based on customer insight & brand design Should be universal enough to be understood by most people Flexible enough to turn into a service, movie, game, whatever! Should be able to start a good conversation over beer Qualities of good controlling ideas
LEAN SERVICE CREATION Story is not interesting without conflict Different levels of antagonistic forces try to win over the positive value From “Story” by Robert McKee
For example: Wisdom as the core value Stupidity disguised as wisdom Wisdom Ignorance Stupidity Positive value Lack of positive value Negative value Worst of the worst From “Story” by Robert McKee
For example: Love as the core value Love Indifference Hate Self-loathing Positive value Lack of positive value Negative value Worst of the worst From “Story” by Robert McKee
For example: Justice as the core value Injustice disguised as justice Justice Unfairness Injustice Positive value Lack of positive value Negative value Worst of the worst From “Story” by Robert McKee
LEAN SERVICE CREATION The controlling idea & changes in value act as the core of the service When designing any aspect, ask “does this support the controlling idea?”
LEAN SERVICE CREATION If the controlling idea is expressed clearly enough, it will resonate very strongly with users à users loving the service (even if they can’t tell why)

LEAN SERVICE CREATION YOUR SERVICE IS NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER
LEAN SERVICE CREATION Tell me and I'll forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me, and I'll understand. -Chinese Proverb
