Embedding Service Design Practice within Service Innovation Process
Under the supervision of Dr Nick de Leon and Dr Qian Sun, Jonny's doctoral research explores a gap of knowledge in service design field regarding the phenomenon of in-house service designers and their challenges practising in large financial institutions in the UK. By conducting participatory action research, his work highlights the corporate environments and contextual challenges that service design practice are encountering. This leads to the generation of new knowledge in the academic fields of service design, design management and service innovation, as well as to offer a practical framework for in-house service designers and corporate managers to adapt service design practice during the process of embedding service design for service innovation in system firms.
