This paper discusses how the introduction of a service design approach inside public administration offices can help public servants to be more citizen-centred. In particular, the stakeholder map, a well-known tool in the service design community, has been investigated as a means to trigger conversation about roles and power distribution at key moments of a project while also paving the way for public institutions to adopt a people-centred approach. The argument draws on a case study in Geneva where a public institution dealing with migrants employed a design team in order to improve their service offering.
