To me, service design means...
Service design from a social innovation perspective involves applying design principles and methodologies to address complex social challenges. It focuses on creating and improving services that have a positive impact on individuals, communities, and society as a whole. This approach emphasizes collaboration, user involvement, and a deep understanding of the social context to develop innovative solutions that meet the needs of diverse stakeholders. In essence, service design for social innovation aims to bring about positive change by designing services that contribute to the well-being and improvement of societal conditions.
