More research about the author's PSS design method, tools and research behind it.
The PSS design toolkit is an ongoing effort to develop a methodology, with tools and techniques, for designing meaningful Product Service Systems. It mixes state-of-the-art insights from the domains of systems and systemic thinking, service design, human-centered design, interaction design, product design and design thinking.
The PSS strategic rollout toolkit focuses on three key aspects of potential PSS upscaling: exploring vs. exploiting; leveraging a shared organizational logic for supporting PSS; and PSS-oriented collaborative team set-up and clarity on stakeholder co-creation.
