value emerges when a service becomes embedded in the customer’s context, activities, practices and experiences together with the service company’s activities. ... it is important to understand how value emerges also from the customers’ mental and emotional experiences and what the customers are doing to accomplish their goals. In other words, a more holistic understanding of the customer’s life, practices and experiences (in which service is embedded) is needed. This requires that companies build their businesses on an indepth insight into customers’ activities, practices, experiences, and context, and analyze what implications these have for the service. ... companies should learn what processes customers are involved in, in their own context, and what different types of inputs (both physical and mental) customers need to support these.

The recent trend of integrating design thinking into service business development turns the process over by starting from deeply understanding customers’ activities, and then based on deep customer insight, ideating and designing new ways to support customers’ activities and embed the service in customers’ existing and future contexts, activities, and experiences...
In other words, a service is designed with the customers, not just for them"
