Service Design Club: Collaboration Etiquette

A successful service design club meeting today! We brainstormed the good, the bad and the ugly of Collaboration. Categories that emerged were communication, ideation, group dynamics and motivation. Within each category we brainstormed possible solutions for each issue and developed a great list of ideas. Then we learned how to identify different team roles and how they relate to various behaviors. Thanks to everyone for a great meeting!

Communities are built and thrive not just on the physical spaces and facilities but also through their connectedness to the digital world. It is at this intersection that designers can bring useful thinking to bear; particularly as the maturing service design industry readies itself to attack the public service issues that dog many cities

"Smarter cities need design" says Jim Northover in his for Design Times.  The relationship between public services and service design continues to grow, and Helsinki will be the city to watch and learn from as they are in the process of recruiting three "City Designers" to work with the city staff.

This is a great interview with designer Bob Gill. My favorite part is when talks about how designers (back then and still today) can often get caught up in making something beautiful, but fail to see its purpose or origin.  He gives the example of being commisioned to design graphics for a dry cleaning business, and that the best way to choose color, shape, style, etc. is to actually go to the dry cleaner and spend a lot of time there. Observe people. Observe the environment.  Reflect that in the design.  While these are things we learning today, he was thinking this way back in the 1950's, and actually putting into practice.

My blog is in the process of being REVAMPED, so excuse me if things are constantly changing. Thought of keeping it fresh and trendy - what do you think ?
