Conclusion
A service concept that creates value for both service provider and service user.
The service concept aims to be a platform for creating exchanges and contact between staff and users as well as other service users in the field of earnings-related pensions.
User experience design focuses mainly on the individual digital touch points.
The underlying view is that service design is a way to bridge the gap across the silos and develop services in a more user-centered way.
However, as both disciplines have a user-centered approach to designing a service, they were complementary.
