This study adapts traditional service blueprint methodologies for technology-driven coopetition networks, where companies simultaneously collaborate and compete. Integrating insights from service science, we developed an enhanced service blueprint framework with three key components: the cyber frontstage Lane for digital interactions, the physical backstage Lane for physical operations, and the support stage lane for supporting processes. Empirical validation in the Portuguese stone sector demonstrated the framework’s effectiveness in identifying network dysfunctions and its ease of use for industry professionals. Feedback highlights its relevance in capturing the complexities of modern digital coopetition and managing interactions and resources. This research underscores the necessity of updating service blueprint methods to optimize service delivery and value co-creation in digitally evolving sectors.
