Touchpoint Vol. 14 No. 2 Call for Papers | Redefining Value Creation: Deadline Extended

Touchpoint – The Journal of Service Design provides a window into the discussion of service design, facilitating a forum to debate, share and advance the field and its practices. In addition, it aims at engaging clients to listen in on the discussion, learn about the field, and become involved in the development and implementation of service design for their organisations.

Touchpoint Call for Papers Vol 14–2 | Redefining Value Creation –– Deadline extended!

Thank you to all who have submitted your abstracts. We will be in contact with you within the next week.

We have decided to extend the deadline for the submissions of abstracts to August 24th.

If you were interested to submit but were on summer holiday, you can still submit your abstract!

Please have a look at the Call for Papers for Touchpoint Vol. 14 No. 2. In this issue we will be discussing ‘Redefining Value Creation' 

Seeing the need for substantial change as well as a planet-centred approach, we would like to trigger the conversation about alternative economic models and their relevance for and impact on service design.  In this upcoming issue of Touchpoint, we would like to look for novel contexts in which service design is practiced, and how new models of value exchange are embedded in projects.

We are looking for contributions that:

  • Demonstrate the successes (and challenges) of service design being applied in fundamentally unique contexts, where concepts such as sustainability, societal equality, etc. are driving concerns
  • Help inspire service designers to push for positive change where they work, based on the achievements shared by others
  • Share tools, techniques and (visual) models that we can apply and refer to when designing services with the above-mentioned considerations in mind

 

Submit your abstract: Read more and submit your abstracts via the online form until 19 september 2023 (23:59 CEST).

If you have any questions, please contact us at: journal@service-design-network.org

We are looking forward to receiving your abstract!

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.
