Event Information
What is the Service Design Jam?
On the first weekend of March 2013 , people interested in service and customer experience will meet at locations all over the globe. They will be designers, students, academics, business people, customers, mums, kids and grand-dads. in a spirit of experimentation, innovation, co-operation and friendly competition, teams will have less than 48 hours to develop and prototype completely new services inspired by a shared theme. At the end of the weekend, their collection of brand new services will be published to the world .
You bounce your ideas off other people, and play around with what comes back. Together, you build something which none of you could have built alone . And at the same time, you are learning new ideas, discovering more about how you work and whom you work with best, sharpening your skills , and having a great time .
Parts of the jam will be in English but when working in groups you are of course free to switch to German or other languages.
