DESIS Lab Presents
Service Design Performances – Spring 11 Series
SERVICE DESIGN: MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS
With Andy Polaine
Date: Monday, February 14, 2011
Time: 6:00 to 7:30pm
Location: 80 5th Avenue, 8th Floor, Room 802, NY
Service Design is more than the sum of its methods, blueprints and customer journey maps. In this talk Andy will explore the mental move from an industrial, product-fixated mindset to a service-oriented one. He will explain the four spheres of people, networks, experiences and resilience are the core of service thinking and the glue that holds together the more recognisable touchpoints. Andy will also examine the boundaries of service design and design thinking when dealing with complex areas such as public services and even international peace, security and development.
Dr. Andy Polaine has been involved in interaction design since the early 90s and was co-founder of Antirom in London. He was a producer at Razorfish, UK and later Interactive Director at Animal Logic, Sydney. He was Senior Lecturer and Head of the School of Media Arts at The University of New South Wales, Sydney before moving to Germany and is now a Lecturer and Research Fellow in Service Design at the Lucerne School of Art and Design in Switzerland. Alongside his academic work Andy continues to work as a interaction designer, service design researcher and is co-writing a book on service design for Rosenfeld Media along with live|work co-founders, Ben Reason and Lavrans Løvlie.

Service Design Performances is an immersion experience in design for services, bringing together international professionals and scholars to present their work as well as presenting current and future areas of service design teaching and research at Parsons SDS.
Design for Sustainable Social Innovation and Sustainability (DESIS) Lab is a research lab at the School of Design Strategies, Parsons The New School for Design. Its mission is to advance the practice and discourse of design-enabled social innovation toward more sustainable cities. DESIS Lab conducts research into the ways in which design can enhance community led initiatives in the development of more sustainable ways of living and working. In particular, DESIS Lab uses Service Design as a means to apply design expertise into problem setting and problem solving related to sustainable practices and social innovation.
