Be welcome for an evening of in-depth conversation triggered by a recent publication relevant to service design. The book we have selected for tonight is Business Model Generation by Alexander Osterwalder en Yves Pigneur. Make sure to buy (and read) the book in time for the meeting (and please let us know you’re coming through either our Facebook group or Linkedin events page).
Be welcome for an evening of presentations and debate among the Dutch Service Design community. The theme for tonight is ‘Exploring the O-gap’. How can you support your client to engage their organisation in the implementation of those great new service innovation ideas? Some methods from the business domain will be presented and discussed.
From 19:00 you are more than wlecome at the new studio of 31Volts in Utrecht (not Amsterdam, sorry for the confusing header..). You can walk from central station. By car, you can park at ‘la vie’ or ‘paardenveld’. Please let us know if you intend to come, so we can order enough drinks and snacks. If you have any questions or want to let us know you are coming, please ring (0648372904) or email (.(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)) Marc Fonteijn.
The next meeting of Service Design Talks is on March 24. The book we have chosen this time is Design-driven Innovation: Changing the rules of competition by radically innovating what things mean written by Roberto Verganti (Harvard Business Press, 2009).
Another book that puts forward Design Thinking and its importance for innovation. The reviews of the book are very positive so hopefully another interesting book to read and discuss together.
Book can be ordered through Amazon .
After the popular presentation and discussion evenings on service design that have been organized in London, the first Service Design Thinks meeting in Amsterdam will take place on February 18, 2010.
Note: places are limited so register quickly through the events pages on LinkedIN and/or Facebook
On 20 January we will be getting together to discuss a recently published and interesting book related to Service Design. This time it’s Tim Brown’s new book ‘Change by Design’. A must read for everyone in the field, so why not come and talk about it with a group of peers in the field?
Enough time to order the book, read it over Christmas, and be ready for some fresh perspectives by 20 January. So no excuses!
Another of those lovely, lively evenings of drinking and chatting about Service Design (and other things). Alternating between Amsterdam and Utrecht: this time it is Amsterdam again. Same place as before (Cafe Kobalt, opposite Central Station). Everyone who feels connected to this vibrant community of peers is warmly invited!
