Whilst guest editing Touchpoint (Vol 11, No.1), The Journal of Service Design the past 6 months, I also authored a provocative piece on the role of Service Design whilst working with Fortune 500’s titled, ‘Applying Service Design While ‘Innovating like a Start-up’. The role of service design in global Fortune 500 project teams’.
I hope that the article stimulates critical discussion about the role of innovation methodologies in general whilst explaining on a more high level, what they aim to achieve in terms of knowledge. That way duplication and complication of terminologies can be avoided so that iterative, knowledge seeking ways of working can function in support of de-risking innovation projects. Looking forward to feedback and discussions.
