Those days seem far behind us yet here we are, early June 2020, and life as we knew it suddenly looks very different. Heads of global businesses, CMOs and marketing communications agency owners have found themselves caught in the unwelcome headlights of an uncertain future and everybody is asking themselves the same question: “Am I going to be okay?” The truth is, nobody knows. It’s hard to make decisions when you can’t see the road ahead clearly and when you feel like you’re navigating something you have no power over. While we can’t control the world around us, we can control how we respond, how we lead and how we manage our teams - who also want to hear that everything will be okay.

    Creating Emotional Service design An investigation in how to support people in coping with social isolation by enabling for opportunities to be alone together Lin Johnsson [email protected] Interaktionsdesign Bachelor 22.5HP Spring 2021 Supervisor: Li Jönsson 2 of 53 Abstract How might we through emotional service design investigate how to support people in coping with social isolation by enabling for opportunities to be alone together? This is the research question this interaction design bachelor thesis, through applying theories of emotional and service design, has been aiming towards investigating. What is presented in the work is a merge of the terms, emotional service design. In addition to this, a service to help improve its user’s well-being and ability to cope with the effects of an isolated stay-at- home life is proposed. The conducted research has taken a qualitative approach, using methods of semi-structured interviews, affinity-diagramming, cultural probes, co- creative workshops and prototype testing, insights indicating that loneliness can be combated through two main ways: by finding an activity-based escape or by connecting with people or others. What is argued for is the importance of keeping emotional reactions in mind when designing for experiences. 3 of 53 Acknowledgements This project has had its up and its downs and without the support from family and friends I would not be sitting here writing the acknowledgment section today, so thank you. Thank you Melika, for our endless discussions and Zoom-coffees. Thank you, Li, for challenging me and providing support to the very end. Thank you, E, you know who you are.
