Service Design Thinks Leeds is delighted to present a double bill of influential service design practitioners…
• Sarah Drummond of Glasgow-based Snook, is constantly pushing at the boundaries of what designers and design can do. She’ll share insights on where service designers work well, where they fail, and where design can add value in the public sector.

And again it‘s time for Service Design Thinks in Cologne!
14. February 2012, 19:30 Uhr, betahaus | Köln Café
We are starting into the new year with a screening of the documentation “Design the New Business”. A great opportunity to watch the movie before its actual release and to discuss it afterwards. The line-up of the movie definitively sounds promising and so does the announcement:
“As our world changes, the challenges to business grow. Old ways of thinking are being replaced by open minds and creativity. Design is playing a central role in helping solve problems and drive the future. We invite you to see how design is shaping the new business.”
We are very happy to team up with Peter Schreck from Idea Republica for the 4th Service Design Thinks. In the future Idea Republic will organize regular screenings of inspirational documentations and demonstrations from the field of idea economy.
Colorful drinks and yummy soup will be served at the betahaus Büdchen.
Let‘s think and drink!
With the profusion of digital user interfaces reaching deeper into everyday life, the joined-up view of end-to-end service design, including non-digital touchpoints, is more valuable now than ever before. How are users moving between web and mobile, and how can designers create smooth transitions across the two? How does the infrastructure of the city enhance and constrain the services to which its people have access? And how can users and stakeholders be engaged in the creation of services across such a broad canvas?
Service Design Thinks is free and open to everyone. This is a great chance to learn, debate and gather together afterwards at the pub to explore thoughts further.
We are excited to present a redux of Brandon Schauer’s keynote talk from the Service Design Network conference: The Business Case for (or Against) Service Design. It is not to be missed!
Its time again for festive cheer and service design chatter! Please Join us for the Service Design Christmas Drinks are at the charming ’ The Princess of Shoreditch’.
Come down from 6pm onwards for drinking, talking about Service Design and Christmas. We’ll be sitting at a table downstairs.

The SDD in Cologne and Berlin have the same topics so that we afterwards can exchange the in- and output of both communities. Cologne and Berlin alternately define the topic for the next SDD at the end of each SDD.

DESIGN HAPPINESS
gross national happiness vs. gross domestic product / personal lifetime goals vs. social moral / success vs. failure / wealth vs. prosperity
