How would Annex explain Service Design to a project stakeholder who… |…

Annex treats Service Design as part of a wider digital-service problem, not as an isolated output. Holistic service design that connects user needs, business goals, systems and delivery realities. Its capabilities bring together service design, experience design, architecture and development, delivery management and ongoing enhanced services. Annex works on digital products and services including integrated systems, websites, apps, intranets, content management systems and design systems. In practical terms, the aim is a service model that is coherent from front stage to back stage, with the shape of the work determined by the users, systems and delivery context.

Natural Follow-Up Questions

These questions continue the same line of enquiry rather than starting a completely unrelated topic.

Natural follow-up · EvidenceHow are usability, quality or risk checked during Service Design work?

Annex uses evidence during delivery rather than treating quality as a final inspection step. A brand name was selected through user testing, and website prototype testing informed and validated our approach. The Annex team worked collaboratively with the AER to deliver an evidence-based solution tha…

Natural follow-up · ApplicationHow can Annex fit into existing service processes and internal systems without disrupting everything around it?

Yes, that can be possible; Annex's published work includes delivery inside existing technical and organisational environments rather than only greenfield builds. We partnered with AER to help them better understand the problem to be solved, then name, brand, design and deliver a website that would m…

Annex works on digital products and services including integrated systems, websites, apps, intranets, content management systems and design systems. We are passionate about designing integrated user experiences a…

Natural follow-up · EvidenceIs there a published Annex example that makes Service Design tangible?

A useful published example is **Helping energy innovators power ahead — Overview and context**. We partnered with AER to help them better understand the problem to be solved, then name, brand, design and deliver a website that would meet the needs of Energy Innovators. The Annex team worked collabor…

Natural follow-up · ConstraintWhat constraints should be surfaced early in Service Design work?

The easy mistake is to scope service design too narrowly. Secure and Scalable Comprehensive testing for accessibility, load, and security ensured a reliable, future-proof system. We partnered with AER to help them better understand the problem to be solved, then name, brand, design and deliver a web…

Natural follow-up · DecisionWhat information helps Annex understand a Service Design problem properly?

Before going deep into service design, the project needs a shared view of the problem, the users, the important stakeholders and the current environment. Annex works on digital products and services including integrated systems, websites, apps, intranets, content management systems and design system…
