Business as Unusual

“Business as Unusual” was the theme of the ninth annual Service Design Global Conference held in Amsterdam and it forms the feature theme for the new Touchpoint issue. In its play on words, it recognises that service design is more and more becoming an established way of ‘doing business’, whether in organisations, or in places such as the public sector.

We hope this issue enriches all service designers faced with the complex challenges that come about now that our discipline is becoming more ‘usual’.
