Service Design Global Conference 2011

For this year’s theme we’re looking to push the conversation on still further from previous years and we’ll also be engaging with an even broader audience. We’re all really excited to announce that the theme for this year’s conference is:

From sketchbook to spreadsheet

At this year’s conference we’ll be exploring what happens when service design meets business. We’ll look at how, where and when our two professions work together to generate value, what we can learn from each other and ask what the future of this relationship might be.

We’re particularly interested in understanding the impact that service design is now making to organisations’ bottom lines and in hearing where the compelling stories of designing business strategies, monetising service propositions and cultural change are.

We will also be maintaining our focus on the practice and business of service design itself; new tools and methods yes, but also how to buy and sell service design, and what the design community can learn from business and vice-versa.
