Service Design Award 2018 - The Finalists

SDN has announced all Service Design Award 2018 finalists, whose work is internationally recognised as a benchmark of world-class service design.

The Service Design Award 2018 Ceremony will take place during the Service Design Global Conference in majestic Dublin. Winners will be celebrated and announced on stage. The finalists, whose work is internationally recognised as benchmarks of world-class service design, have now been announced.

The Service Design Award, curated by the Service Design Network, is the first international award for service design. The award was launched in 2015 as a result of an increasing demand for high quality case studies and academic output in service design. It also contributes to the sharing of knowledge, experience and techniques, and reinforces the value of service design within the world of business.

This year’s sixteen finalists are nominated for the Service Design Awards 2018 within three categories: Professional Commercial, Professional Non-profit/Public Sector and Student.

We’d like to congratulate all nominees and we’re looking forward to celebrate their work during SDGC18. Want to see the finalist’s projects? You’ll find all case studies here.

From AI to Synthetic Services

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.
