Service Design Symposium - Speaker: Oliver KingDecember 15 2008

Oliver King is the co-founder and director of Engine, a service design consultancy based in London, UK. Engine has been around since 2000, and engages in projects for both the private and public sector.

It’s design, but not as they know it!

According to Oliver, Engine’s approach to service design develops from the following points:

Service is the act of helping somebody to do something, while design is the process of making something better for somebody. Translation is the challenge of connecting strategy and implementation. Engine operates in this “translation space”, figuring out how to get to implementation from strategy.

INDEX Summercamp 2007November 27 2008

As part of the INDEX: 2007 events, CIID was asked to run a three week summer camp for more than 30 students who had been invited from all over the world.

The aim of the camp was to encourage user-centered design and innovation methodologies among future generations of designers. Working in groups on a theme of Global Challenges and Intercultural Dialogue, participants gained understanding of how to identify a problem, how to generate and test concepts, how to rapidly prototype solutions and how to best communicate their final concepts to a relevant audience.

Through a ‘bottom up’ approach – using individuals as a starting point – students developed new solutions for issues that will have an impact on people all around the world.
