The Service Design Network (SDN), founded in 2004, is the leading non-profit institution for expertise in service design and a driver of global growth, development and innovation within the practice. Through national and international events, online and print publications and coordination with academic institutions, our member-based network connects multiple roles within agencies, business, and government to strengthen the impact of service design within the public and private sectors. Ours is a global, open-minded network, focused on knowledge-sharing, collaboration and exchange.
We are delighted to open a call for the Service Design Award 2020, the premier international award for service design. The Award recognises work of an exceptional standard in the field of service design from the private and public sector, as well as academia.

It was not so long ago that if one were asked the question "What is design?", the response would likely have described a creative process resulting in the production of a tangible object that could be seen, touched, smelled or even consumed.
Successfully implementing service design projects is crucial to creating an impact for companies and service designers. This one-day workshop will introduce you to the fundamentals of service design implementation. We will discuss strategies to ensure that user experience concepts are not getting blocked internally and ultimately removed from the priority list. You will also start to think about implementation at the right time and have in place everything that you will need along the way. We will also reflect on the relationship between service design implementation and change management.
Six-day hands-on minds-on immersive training on designing services for commissioned business cases. This training is intended for all types of managers from all walks of life. By participating in a service design project that solves a ‘real’ service problem or yield an opportunity, participants will apply tools and methods to design service concepts, processes, and systems in a manner that enables the value-in-use; i.e. experiences that happen over time and across different touchpoints and channels.
Touchpoint is the first and only journal dedicated to the practice of service design. Published by practitioners for practitioners, Touchpoint is essential reading for both newcomers and seasoned experts alike.
