AI-driven Service Design

(Re)designing services with AI in the customer journey — from service blueprint to tested prototype.

Why this module

Why this matters

AI changes not only the back office but the service itself: how customers ask questions, how quickly they get an answer, how personal that answer is.

Designing from the customer journey avoids the classic pitfall: technology in search of a problem. You deliberately choose the moments where AI adds value — and the moments where it is a human who makes the difference.

Content

What you will learn

Application

Directly in your own practice

You redesign a service of your own organisation and test the concept with real users.

Application process

A service desk employee sets up an AI front door for applications: complete sooner, less back-and-forth.

Proactive service

A service manager lets predictions determine which customers to call before a complaint arrives.

Blended channel

A team leader designs a channel in which AI prepares and a human conducts the conversation.

How you work

Learning alongside your job

You take this module the way you take the whole programme: classes every other week on Friday and Saturday, with a study load of 15–20 hours per week, of which 10–15 hours is self-study. The teaching is a mix of classroom sessions, workplace learning, blended learning and working groups or study teams — taught by lecturers who practise the profession themselves on a daily basis.

You conclude each theme with a professional product or a technical solution addressing a real situation in your own work, which you discuss in an assessment with the lecturer. This way your portfolio grows with real work — and your employer benefits directly.

After this module you will have a tested AI service concept for your own organisation, including an implementation path.
