What are the #materials of #ServiceDesign... A seemingly simple question, but one that I believe has the potential to reshape our understanding of service design. Historically, design has always been about shaping and manipulating materials to give form to things around us. It's only in recent years, with the popularization of design thinking, that design has drifted away from its roots and heritage of a craft. The focus shifted on -sometimes mindlessly- following a flawed double diamond process. Even though people over the recent years have tried to raise the question of what the materials of service design are, the conversation never really caught on. Something tells me that's about to change with the release of the book "The Materials of Service Design." (discount link in the episode description) This book, in my opinion, marks a turning point in the history of our field. Yes, I absolutely feel it's that important, and no, I'm not getting any commissions on the book sales. It offers a fresh, materials-based perspective that adds a much needed nuance and richness to how we think about service design. Imagine being able to have constructive conversations about designing with time, relationships, culture, and all the other materials that make up services. Imagine understanding the properties of these materials deeply enough to co-create a shared library of service design patterns. The implications are huge. This approach once again makes it clear that services can't be designed by a single person; they require the involvement of experts from many areas. It also challenges us to reimagine how we teach service design. All in all, it really does open up a world of new questions and possibilities. As you hopefully can read, I'm excited about the direction and trajectory that could take us. So, in this episode, Simon Clatworthy, co-author of the book, and I dive into this exciting new perspective. The book outlines 12 materials, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts. What materials do YOU think are essential for service design?
