Some of the big enterprises are investing in the city in R&D Centers and Innovation Hubs. These industries are also understanding that they need to create human center cultures from back to front end if they want to stay relevant on the market, and focus only in processes and optimization is not enough. Making people from all industries turn their head to Service Design. 

CHAPTER VISION

Drive Service Design knowledge in Monterrey and areas around, building a strong and supportive community that empowers designers and other disciplines towards the knowledge and growth of Service Design as a discipline.

Monterrey takes the second place in Mexico in number of people working as service designers, however the numbers are not satisfactory. As a chapter we want to create awareness about the importance of the practice, not only for the private sector, but also the social impact it could have.

OUR VISION AS A CHAPTER IS:

    1. To start the conversation around Service Design and its process, so people and enterprises can identify new opportunities
    2. Create a community that can work as a support network to solve questions
    3. Provide the forums to talk about trends and challenges

For us success looks like helping increase in at least 2% the number of service designers in our city compared to the 2019 SDMX report.
