The development of services is a process in which heterogeneous networks of organizations; designers; and customers collaborate. In this paper we argue that getting a service right at the end of such a development process will be easier when at the very beginning of the process already is started with a collaboration of these networks aiming at getting the right service. To get the right service the co-creation of value; and deployment of actual experiences of users as drivers for service innovation; are seen as important ingredients. This discussion is based on the findings in an on going project; with the aim to develop a framework for conceptualization and implementation of services. The collaborations are addressed from both the organization and design perspectives.
