Canada’s leading service design firm.
For more than a decade, we’ve helped organizations design better services and experiences, then build the capability to keep doing it themselves.
Great services don’t happen by accident. They’re designed.
Not every service is designed with intention. Many evolve over time through policies, processes, technologies and operational decisions that were never considered as one connected user experience.
Service design changes that. It brings intention to how a service works and feels, creating the difference between a service that people have to use and one they want to use.
What we do
Three ways that we can help.
Assess current services to decide what’s next.
Evaluate internal services or customer experiences to identify opportunities, develop strategies and create practical roadmaps for transformation.
Hire a service designer to join your team.
Bring experienced service designers into new or existing projects to improve or accelerate how research, design, and implementation gets done.
Make service design part of how you work.
Build the skills, tools and ways of working needed to design better services and continuously improve from within.
Watch service design in action.
Hear from Sydney Johnson, J5’s Head of Design, about how we use service design to help organizations rethink complex challenges, transform services and build lasting capability from within.
