Service Design Network was founded in 2004 to strengthen the theory and practice of service design. As a predominately volunteer-driven organisation, we execute our mission through the content we create and share, the events we host, the communities we bring together, the awards we bestow and the outreach activities we undertake. Thanks to our ability to work conjointly with an engaged community of passionate professionals, academics and curious innovators, SDN is raising the profile and application of service design to the betterment of business, government and society at-large.
We are the SDN
We are the network for service designers across the globe. We come together to learn, share and grow. Our network is equipped with knowledge and experiences that are timely, inspiring and real-world applicable.
Our value proposition can be summed up by the three fundamental principles:
