“In this paper, we discuss three case studies of organizational services for employees—a referral program, onboarding of experienced professionals, and employee integration within a business unit. Through these, we highlight key challenges and opportunities for adopting service design in the organization, including collaboration and participation challenges, the need for building sensitivity and accessibility to service design, opportunities in the organizational settings that can be leveraged, and other learnings.” Citation: Lobo, S., Das, B., Mahamuni, R., (2020), Transforming Organizational Services through Service Design, 22nd DMI: Academic Design Management Conference, (pp. 760-772).
“We explored an inside-out approach where we wanted the employees of IT organizations to understand, develop and experience the power of a service design-led innovation activity, understand the different complexities involved, and further become empowered to design service experiences for their customer organizations.” Citation: Mahamuni, R., Lobo, S., Das, B., (2020).

“In this paper, we deliberate on this conversation of scaling service design by primarily considering the phase of primary research, specifically qualitative user research. Although qualitative user research is accepted as an academic approach, it is often questioned on the grounds of validity and practicality of logistics.” Citation: Mahamuni R. et al.
