Genuinely customer-focused operations follow the Design for All principle and take into account the diversity of people already in the service design phase when it is flexible and cost-efficient to make changes. In addition, the event introduces regulatory requirements and demonstrates practical service experiences from the point of view of different interest groups’ users.
