Last Saturday Oliver King (Engine) and Birgit Mager (SDN) announced the Service Design Award finalists and winners during the Service Design Global Conference in Amsterdam. The Award recognises outstanding work in the field of service design in commercial, public sector and academic categories. Congratulations to all of the winners!
It was a very close race this year since all of the 18 shortlisted projects showed a refined and dedicated understanding of what good service design is and how it can be done. The jury commended 5 winners who stood out amongst the rest as having the most convincing outcomes, the clearest and most well developed process as well as a convincing collection of success metrics that set them apart.

Project title: Leaving Care Service: Re-designing interactions when discussing where a young person may live as they leave care
Name: Gayle Rice
Client: Glasgow City Council Leaving Care Service
Gayle Rice PhD from The Glasgow School of Art won the first Student Service Design Award with a project for the Glasgow City Council - Leaving Care Services (LCS). Rice’s project redesigned interactions between young people leaving care and the support they receive within the process. An important topic to cover as young people with care experience feature prominently in statistics about vulnerable young adults. Glasgow City Council now aims to roll-out this design to 3 additional LCS centres and there are opportunities to share the template of this design with other local authorities in Scotland and further afield.
