SERVICE DESIGN GEOGRAPHIES
After a long maturation period, the discipline of Service Design
is evolving in several directions and exploring new territories.
The discipline has been founded on the area of affluence of many
knowledge streams, from service marketing and management to
interaction design and product design. The ground knowledge from
those disciplinary areas has been integrated through research and
cases studies that have emphasized different and new aspects of
service design, including user-participation and co-creation,
user experience, systemic and social aspects, technological
implications and strategic perspectives.
This relatively young area of design research is now exploring a
wide landscape, that includes methodological contributions,
practice-based research, concrete cases and prototypes, while new
stakeholders are expressing interest in this discipline and
promoting new cases and experiences.
The last few years have also seen an increasing number of public
sector initiatives with the support of design agencies,
foundations and research groups that are promoting novel
approaches to public service innovation. This includes for
example modes to capture and amplify signals of social innovation
projects or the set up of innovation labs within Government
offices. At the same time the private sector is exploring the
potential of more collaborative approaches to service innovation
that value users contribution and participation in the design
process.
Furthermore new contextual conditions are changing the cardinal
points in service innovation: e.g. the availability of large data
sets create new grounds for a new generation of services, that
enable citizens to navigate and connect with dispersed resources;
social networking tools are creating new layers of interaction
and collaborations among close and far off people, while
amplifying human capability to elaborate existing information;
finally broader social changes are changing the patterns of the
demand for new services. ServDes 2016 will explore this new
landscape with the aim of generating new maps, new orientation
tools and coordinates, to help interpreting and framing this
evolving field. Thematic areas of the conference are:
- The centres: the evolution in the foundation of Service Design
- The fringe areas: exploring the boundaries of the Service
Design discipline
- The tectonics: developing the methodological approach and
practices
- New directions: e.g. emerging social and technology-driven
innovation
- Private and public places: cases, strategies, initiatives and
experiences in and across the public, private and third sector.
- Future transformation: the future research, education, and
professional perspectives.
