Service Design Hackathon -Day 3. (30.1.2016)

It is Saturday morning and everyone in our group seems to be in need of strong coffee. Last night we ended up asking “why”, today we will give an answer; who do we want our customer to become. In today´s agenda we have one more interview and by the end of the day we will give a presentation, we will pitch the business plan of our team.

Our last guest arrives for interview. He is 23 y.o student, lives by himself in the city centre of Helsinki. His life style is busy urban life. His dream is one day to own flat in city area. Our questions for him want to measure how keen he is to use services for housing and living by using Internet. We are also interested in how he sees himself in the future – does he like to use more time for his free time rather than spending time for domestic work. Our goal is still to make  “tripadvisor of services”; to make ordering of services easier than it is now. (…Our quest didn’t see extra services too important as he could do most of the daily stuff by himself. Maybe it was too early for him to think of daily life with busy family with children etc…)

Extra tab for “living”

After interviewing the student our picture of our customer segmentation became very clear! We are focusing for parents, 40+, digital native people who can afford to spend some extra money for daily luxuries such as for cleaner or nanny, or who are in charge of their own aging parents for example.

Potential market

Our group´s working stations for plan presentation divided naturally; visual person search pictures for power point, technical person played with power point itself, business person did the calculations of research and person who was called human, was the all over leader of our presentation and team work.

Vision!

After working few hours we started pitching. Was amazing to hear fellow Hackathor´s presentations. So many interesting service models with great future thinking. Wasn’t easy to select the most interesting one to be best. Actual pitching last 10 minutes and we were proud of our own work. Did audience love it, this we will see on 21^st of April, when Kiinteistömaailma announces their chosen project.
