From Design to Implementation -

Touchpoint Vol 10 No 1

Free for SDN Member

With this issue of Touchpoint, we celebrate a milestone tenth year of publication. And rather than choosing a simple theme, we decided to tackle one of the trickiest problems of service design: How does service design continue delivering value through to implementation? In other words, what happens after that second diamond?



Service Design and Change Management - Touchpoint Vol 11 No 3

Free for SDN Member

Delivering new services into the market, or improving existing ones, often means fundamental changes within the service provider itself. As the organisation grows larger – or the service more complex – more and more roles are touched by our work. For those seeking to understand how to bring about the required change in an organisation, and feel adrift beyond the second diamond, we hope you find new inspiration, techniques and avenues of exploration in the pages of this issue.
