A service designer’s skills and mindset are applicable to many of the challenges faced by start-ups. We design based on research-driven insights and have a holistic perspective on customer experience. Yet we’re largely an unknown quantity amongst start-ups. The start-up scene grows and gets more attention by the day, and there’s a good chance your city hosts a start-up ecosystem you’re unaware of. Start-ups represent an exciting challenge for service design - a new frontier, if you will; and that’s the topic of this issue of Touchpoint.

A new episode of the service design podcast is out. Stina and David are chatting with Victoria Dobbie about Playmobil Pro, introducing us to the tool and the process of designing and bringing it into the market. It provides a good look at successful user testing and how a set of toys can create a huge benefit in a professional context when applied in an effective way. Dig into this podcast episode and enjoy the great discussion about playful design with Playmobil. Or are you a Lego kid? If so - still worth it!

A quick Google search for ‘innovation’ pulls up thousands of results: leading edge technology, business school case studies, how-to guides for innovation in corporate environments, and more. ‘Innovation’ is a big, ambiguous term that often looks very different depending on where and how it is applied.
