Customer service blueprint for a broadband install template

A service blueprint shows what the customer does and sees, and everything behind it that makes the service work. This example follows a broadband install from ordering online to the first bill. Each step has its physical evidence, the frontstage contact, the backstage work and the support systems, separated by the lines of interaction, visibility and internal interaction, with fail points and waits marked.
