Research case study 009 / 200
Public service equipment without field evidence
Equipment is designed mainly around departmental needs, with little research into how the public actually uses it.
Three-step solution method
- Observe the full public journey on site, from arrival and queuing to departure.
- Identify the stages requiring most staff assistance and barriers faced by different user capabilities.
- Validate entry points, task sequences, and assistance methods through low-cost prototypes.
Key Deliverables
- Service observation report
- Barrier checklist
- Operational prototype
Verification Approach
Track assistance requests, task completion, and queue interruption patterns.
Translating research into products and services
Around this topic, we connect needs research, product form, visual identity, and user flows; organizing design decisions through prototypes and task evidence, then integrating with engineering, operations, and service teams for delivery.
