Co-creation is an integral part of Service Design and is shaping the way we design products and services. Not only does it activate dialogue with customers, but effectively brings people together to work towards a common goal by working collaboratively. There are countless tools available to map experiences, describe paths and journeys, but what we need most are efficient ways to explore, ideate freely in an open and supportive environment.
