What to expect?

The world is facing a trifecta of radical shifts: post-covid aftershocks, climate crisis, and technological revolution – the stakes are only getting higher. How can service designers more deliberately influence and prepare for challenges and significant next-order impacts for the environment, society, technology, and politics? By developing a structured way to think about the future, we can find ways to look beyond the noise of the present to be better prepared as service designers, users, and stakeholders. In this two-part online workshop, we’ll introduce the concept of developing a future mindset, scanning the fringes for signals of change, and applying that insight to make better choices as service designers in the present.
