Leveraging the Power of Service Design to Boost Web Performance

Designers know that performance is key to user experience.

Do we limit ourselves to only individual user interactions? Service design is all about looking at the "big picture," designing experiences that reach people across many touch points (interactions between users and a brand, product, or service) over time.

Not every design decision will favor performance, and it is essential for designers and developers to understand how cumulative experiences impact conversion and retention rates.

This talk will discuss how to use service design to model end to end user journeys and to uncover gaps in overall web performance.
