The theme for this year’s Global Conference is Catalyst for Change.


Our world is undergoing radical, disruptive changes at an accelerating speed. Innovation, digitalisation, and technological and environmental shifts are changing the way we live and work, transforming industry and reshaping consumer demands. Service transformation is at the heart of this change with impacts being felt through new and innovative service experiences that serve people, the planet, and the invigorated organisations that deliver them. Can service design be the ingredient that not only increases the rate of transformation but also improves its quality and impact? To do this requires service designers to constantly challenge how we are innovating and leading through service design.
