This work aimed to contribute to the body of knowledge that explores the role of effective stakeholder engagement in the design of a service. A descriptive approach was used to propose a new process model in this study. This process model described how a standard stakeholder engagement framework could be applied with service design processes and tools towards the design of a service. Qualitative research methods were used to collect and analyse data in this study. Among other tools, service blueprint was used to explore the service touchpoints & essential issues that existed in the service offering of the partner company in this study. Further, a co-creation tool was tested and used to analyse the current states of case companies with respect to co-creation approaches in service. The use of co-creation tool resulted in the development of co-creation trees. Co-creation trees present a visual way of displaying the performance of an organisation in terms of co-creation approaches with its selected case companies. Its result can help organisations to assess their co-creation strengths and weaknesses in order to take the appropriate steps towards necessary improvement and innovation.

Reprint: R1304D Traditionally, companies have managed their constituencies with specific processes: marketing to customers, procuring from vendors, developing HR policies for employees, and so on. The problem is, such processes focus on repeatability and compliance, so they can lead to stagnation. Inviting your constituencies to collectively help you solve problems and exploit opportunities—“co-creation”—is a better approach. It allows you to continually tap the skills and insights of huge numbers of stakeholders and develop new ways to produce value for all. The idea is to provide stakeholders with platforms (physical and digital forums) on which they can interact, get them to start exploring new experiences and connections, and let the system grow organically. A co-creation initiative by a unit of Becton, Dickinson and Company demonstrates how this works. A global leader in syringes, BD set out to deepen its ties with hospital customers and help them reduce the incidence of infections from unsafe injection and syringe disposal practices. The effort began with a cross-functional internal team, brought in the hospital procurement and supply managers BD had relationships with, and then reached out to hospitals’ infection-prevention and occupational health leaders. Eventually product designers, nurses, sustainability staffers, and even hospital CFOs were using the platform, contributing data that generated new best practices and reduced infections.

About the Book Develop the skills and knowledge to juggle multiple projects, deal with conflicting priorities and manage expectations while avoiding burnout. Book Synopsis Project management is changing. Rather than focusing solely on one large project, the majority of project managers are now expected to juggle multiple projects, which brings a different set of challenges. Between a greater number of project sponsors, resource conflicts and constant pressure from deadlines, it can be difficult to avoid burnout. Managing Multiple Projects blends formal project management techniques with time management and productivity tools in a step-by-step approach to consolidating your workload. From combining schedules to prioritising work and engaging stakeholders, this book clearly explains how to adapt your behaviour and techniques to successfully work on several projects at once. This practical guide provides answers to commonly asked questions (such as how to reduce the number of meetings and how to manage a To Do list) and includes case studies from real project managers. Checklists for common tasks and adaptable templates of trackers and reports are combined with easily actioned exercises to improve processes. Managing Multiple Projects gives practitioners the tools they need to improve the chances of project success and maintain a work-life balance. Online resources include downloadable templates of productivity checklists and status reports.
