Sharing you can Believe in. For too long now I’ve been researching and advocating on behalf of systems of shared use. This year, the ‘sharing economy’ has shown itself to be overwhelmingly an anti-regulatory, precariat-creating way of monetizing social interactions. The term has been so exploited by some of the most vile, greedy technolibertarians around that it is time for me to write off more than a decade’s work.
(When I do, I will refer to it as my ‘failed research focus startup’ so that it actually bolsters my credentials.) But because my other primary area of research has recently been revealed to be indubitaly an anti-Semite (I had before now thought that Martin Heidegger was that rare beast, a non-anti-Semitic uber-Nazi), I feel the need to make a last pitch for what I think is and could be the significance of ‘sharing economies.’ Dematerialization Simplistic Roadmaps from late 1990s The standard manufacturing approach to dematerialization is lightweighting, which has limits and rebounds.
A. B. Roma, i vigili incitano a denunciare via twitter gli automobilisti fuorilegge, scoppia la guerra contro gli "spioni" Nelle intenzioni doveva essere un servizio ai cittadini esasperati dalle soste vietate e dagli automobilisti maleducati: aprire un account Twitter dei vigili urbani romani (@PLRomaCapitale) invitando a twittare le violazioni del codice della strada per sollecitare un pronto intervento della municipale. Ma l'idea, inaugurata dal nuovo comandante dei vigili Raffaele Clemente e salutata come una rivoluzione, sta degenerando. Continua a leggere dopo i tweet.
A Milano non serve più l’auto privata: Car2Go ed Eni (in arrivo) October 17th, 2013 · 2 Comments È passato un po’ di tempo, ma quella che Rifkin battezzò (nell’ormai lontano 2000) come “Era dell’Accesso” – o Sharing Economy per essere più contemporanei – sembra cominciare a produrre risultati concreti anche a Milano che, ad oggi, è una delle città con più car sharing in Europa. E ben contenta di esserlo: dal lancio, in agosto, Car2Go ha già raggiunto la quota di oltre 50.000 iscritti. Se probabilmente oggi l’utilizzo è soprattutto da parte di chi già non ha un’auto, oppure ne ha solo una per nucleo, il successo che sta riscontrando Car2Go fa pensare che, in prospettiva, la città -non solo una nicchia- possa essere disponibile a dimenticare l’affezione per auto privata (i cui costi e fastidi aumentano costantemente) e a “convertirsi” all’accesso all’auto (a beneficio di vivibilità e sostenibilità, visto che per ogni auto condivisa 15 auto non servono più).

They can’t go in your recyclables and taking them to the dump is a hassle. Perfectly sized for the household bin, this is where 90% of them end up. Valuable and finite resources getting lost to landfill. This project looked at the end of life of electrical products and designed alternative ways to make the most of the material that they embody.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to this problem, to demonstrate this we designed three toasters; The Realist, the Pragmatist and The Optimist, each demonstrating a different strategy to creating circular material flows. The early project research was inspired by the ideas of industrial ecology, cradle to cradle and decoupled growth. While steel and aluminium could be separated well, plastics were very mixed and resulted in a low grade output. At this point we thought there was little we could do to change the situation. The Pragmatist The Realist. 'Social innovation is my motivation' | Service design. Sarah Drummond may be only 23, but she is already sure of the direction in which her career as a designer is heading.
"Social innovation is my motivation. If I've got the skills to improve people's lives, why not use them for that? " she says. A trained product designer, Drummond has a clutch of social change projects under her belt including a community cohesion scheme in Wyndford, north-west Glasgow, as part of the GetGo Glasgow team from the Glasgow School of Art. Drummond is among a growing number of young designers using their expertise in service design to help create social change.
Although relatively new in the UK, this approach to social innovation has been pioneered in Germany by Professor Birgit Mager of Sedes Research, the centre for service design research at Köln International School of Design. Both projects demonstrate the ability of service designers to take a broader perspective. Whole picture "You wouldn't find this out with traditional questionnaires. The Rise of UX Leadership - Robert Fabricant. By Robert Fabricant | 2:00 PM July 16, 2013 UX, as user experience is known, is the new black in business culture.
Most of the executives I meet with, regardless of their industry, now promote UX as key to their product strategy. That’s a big change from only five years ago, when UX wasn’t on anyone’s radar outside the tech world. For a designer like myself, it’s easy to recognize which executives know their products intimately, and which manage from a spreadsheet. Thankfully, I’m seeing the emergence of a new generation of UX-oriented leaders with little patience for the hands-off approach. They recognize that as UX eclipses traditional brand marketing, they need to be more hands-on with their products. The CEO as Lead Product Designer Given Apple’s success, it is not surprising to see many executives following Jobs’ lead. This product-centric mindset is not entirely new.

Visualizing Service Design. Role of social design in public services | Public Leaders Network | Guardian Professional. Design institution the V&A recently held a symposium that looked more seriously at how design can contribute to contemporary social and political debates. Photograph: Graeme Robertson UK public services are gradually going digital, users are being asked to collaborate in service development and data is being made public. This is partly a natural evolution, partly provoked by the media, and partly driven by the government's open public services agenda: increase choice for citizens, release data, diversify the range of providers. Clearly, when it comes to developing new services, digitising existing ones, and understanding users, there is a role for design. Similarly, design can help in policy development at the highest level, with its ability to anticipate future scenarios and plan for them.
But it must be a particular kind of design – less of the kind that comes up with new chairs, more of the kind that applies creative problem-solving processes to social and systems problems. Let's Design Services! Continuing our journey through Design @ Your Service, the article below is a contribution from service thinker Luis Alt (founder of live|work in Brazil).
Good read! –Tennyson Pinheiro Take a look around. It is very likely that right now you are surrounded by objects that in some way or another make your life better and more pleasant. All those objects have been in some degree designed—some nicely, others not so much. Now, if you start thinking about the way you interact with the world around you, you will notice one other common pattern: you access your life through services. But let's take a look at the different services that we access. Much has been said in marketing theories that we get to use products by interacting with a whole range of services that exist around it. Now the really good question is, "What exactly should be designed in a service? " And that's why service design is so interesting and exciting. Let's design services!

Cause and effect – that’s where the team left our thinking after the first few weeks of research in Salford & Eccles. Changes in any individuals life can lead them to altering habits and behaviours, for the purpose of this project we have described the ‘Causes’ as social triggers – divorce, bereavement, redundancy. The effect? Harmful (or problem) drinking. The challenge that the Unlimited Potential team and I are trying to address through the Our Place First project in Eccles is: how can we support people who are problem drinking to consider and alter their alcohol consumption? The second phase of the Our Place First project introduced the Unlimited Potential team to the define and develop stages of the project. The Define Phase: This phase started off by the team building on the research conducted during the first few weeks.
It quickly became clear that education was at the core of nearly all of the barriers identified. The Develop Phase: Service Design Drinks Roma#2. Invalid quantity.

One of 16 special essays on how the field of social innovation has evolved and what challenges remain ahead.
What does it feel like to start a new business and encounter government red tape and bureaucracy? What will it take to design a digital platform to help the unemployed rapidly find a voluntary mentor to coach them in finding a job? How can education reform be made tangible enough to spur real change in schools across an entire nation? And, not least, how do you systematically prototype, test, and scale up public sector policy and service responses to such challenges? These are some of the questions that the Danish government’s innovation unit, MindLab, has taken on during the last decade. Based in Copenhagen and part of the ministries of Business and Growth, Employment, and Children and Education, MindLab was established in 2002. Denmark is in the forefront of design-led innovation in the public sector, but this approach is increasingly being adopted around the world. #ServiceDesign News. GDS design principles.
