Service Design and Complex Product Ecosystems
An advanced course in designing the whole service around a product, not just its screens: blueprinting a service across frontstage, backstage, and support processes, designing genuinely continuous omnichannel experiences across touchpoints and organizational silos, and prototyping and piloting service changes safely in complex, real-world organizations.
By the end of this course you can blueprint a service honestly across its full frontstage, backstage, and support-process structure, design a genuinely continuous omnichannel experience with clear ownership of the seams between channels, and prototype, pilot, and safely scale a service change across a large, complex organization without losing what made it work.

Completed Course progress automatically counts toward the Career Path when this Course belongs to a Mission.
- Builds directly on this curriculum's earlier advanced courses rather than repeating their ground
- Every pattern is grounded in a concrete blueprint decision, channel design choice, or pilot signal, not abstract theory
- Every lesson ends with a worked example you can practice on
- Covers the full path from a single, unmapped service to a genuinely blueprinted, omnichannel, safely piloted, and institutionalized one
- Advanced learners who have completed this curriculum's earlier advanced courses and are ready to design at the level of a whole service rather than a single product or interface
- Service designers and product leads responsible for a service that spans multiple channels, teams, and backstage systems
- Design and operations leads who need to pilot and roll out a service change safely across a large, complex organization
- Anyone accountable for a customer experience that currently fragments between channels or between frontstage promises and backstage reality
- 30 short, focused lessons across 3 progressive levels
- A graded quiz after every lesson and a 12-question exam per level
- Three continuous worked examples (blueprinting a missed-connection rebooking service, redesigning it for omnichannel continuity, and a full course capstone spanning all three levels) for a fictional mid-size airline, Skyline Air, threaded through the closing lessons
- Assumes prior advanced-level familiarity with UX practice — goes straight to whole-service blueprinting, omnichannel design, and safe piloting at organizational scale
Awarded after the Course's configured completion requirements are met.
