Service design is taking a role in “policy creation”. Not only does it bring in-depth insights in the needs and constraints of citizens, it also enables and facilitates processes of co-creation with different stakeholders.
The Service Design Impact Report gives a broad overview on service design driven activities in governments and public service organisations all over the world. The report shows how strong the role of design in the public sector has become and how impactful it can be. At the same time it gives insights in many opportunities yet to exploit.

On May 20th 2026, we are holding a special event connected to the publication of the most recent issue of Touchpoint, the journal of service design: Touchpoint Vol.17 No. 1 | From AI to Synthetic Services.
Connect, Collaborate, and Create Change – SDGC26 Awaits! Join us in Wiesbaden, Germany and online, 28–30 October. Registration is open, with Early Bird tickets on sale until May 15.
AI continues to disrupt our work as service designers, fundamentally changing the way we design, deliver and analyse services. The advances are rapid as well, presenting new opportunities while at the same time forcing us to answer some challenging questions on where and how its capabilities are deployed. This issue of Touchpoint answers an ongoing need in our community to learn from each other - as well as those outside our field - to confidently apply AI, as well as know where it should be avoided.
We are pleased to announce that the call for papers for Touchpoint Vol. 17 No. 3 is now open.
