In 2023 we relaunched the Swiss Service Design Network community. Here is what we achieved from February 2023 to December 2023.

For this issue of Touchpoint, we wanted to take a different approach than usual. Rather than looking at how or where service design is being practiced, we wanted to explore ‘towards what ends’.

As the Service Design Network, we will continue to prioritise sustainability and diversity in 2024. Learn more about our goals for next year in this headline and join us to support the mission!
