device rental service.

Writing – Start writing the first proposal that will be going to achieve, which is

laptop rental service.

Data Collection – Set some questionnaire for the target market to find out what’s

important to them. Collect the questionnaire which have distribute in the

previous stage, and work out the analysis.

Drawing – As there are a target market have been set, scenarios and persona

have to be develop. According to the above, storyboard have to be draw.

Throughout the process of drawing, try finding out bit and pieces that have left

and start to join them up.

1st Interview – As I have planed how the service work, but it is still in a beginning

stage. It is necessary to talk with some expert and existing service provider, so as

to refine my own proposal.

Material Collection ‐ As the project needed a few existing laptop models, the

connection between the University and the suppliers have to be building up

through e‐mail, discussion to work out the best way.

Phase 1 (Validation)– Get the Service started. First of all, description and

Validation of the Service providing across the University. Set the Commences and

Concluded date. As it is a description process, it will including workshop for the

service user.

Phase 1 (Performance Evaluation) – Finding out the service performance

through the overall structure. Analyses how effective and efficient is the current

approach. Finding out the key opportunities for improvement.

Writing – Refine the proposal and develop the infrastructures, human resources,

planning, service, process and procedures.

2nd Interview ‐ Conduct an analysis through interview with the service user. And

back to the existing service provider for comment, finding out the key point of

refining the service model.

Phase 2 (Design) – Design of a new laptop service model, which included

according 2nd Interview’s comment, checking the key problem to refine.
