Service designers often oscillate between different spaces and zoom levels. This puts them in a unique position to bridge various institutional boundaries. Facilitating, nurturing and sustaining the relationships at these boundaries is not only emotionally and mentally cumbersome, but the impact of this work is also difficult to measure.

I have often pondered the crucial question that should precede any design endeavour: Do we truly require what the design process may yield? Would we not be wiser to judiciously employ existing solutions? Shouldn’t we consider elimination not only as a means, but also an end for our design? Perhaps the starting point for our design activities should be the eradication of false needs. This is what’s known as ‘eliminative design’.

The effective use of metrics is an important and still underutilised way to elevate and clarify the role and ambitions of service design. If we want our work to make a difference, we need to make its impact on user experiences, business success and the environment tangible in a nuanced way.

With the growing importance of service design comes great responsibility. Our practice must once again remember its roots and find the courage to apply a truly holistic perspective. One that not only creates value for humans and their organisations, but the planet as a whole.

In a recent update on planetary boundaries1, scientists revealed that humanity has exceeded safe thresholds in six of the nine crucial planetary limits. This poses significant risks to ecosystems, potentially leading to irreversible environmental damage and harm. Urgent global efforts are needed to safeguard our planet.

There is a lack of consideration of power dynamics and wider influences, context and system in Western dominant design models pioneered by the likes of the Hasso Plattner Institute and IDEO’s Design Thinking frameworks. The focus on human desirability, balanced against feasibility and viability has shifted. Over the last decade, global events, seismic technological advances, increasingly wicked problems and the effects of climate change have heightened the awareness of the fragility of humanity, society and economies.

Service design helps organisations focus on – and design for – their most important stakeholders. We argue that although the tools of service design can highlight and integrate multiple stakeholder perspectives, they cannot adequately address the complexity inherent in organisations. This is limiting the impact of service design. Indicators that this is taking place are a lack of support or funding for service design projects, as well as resistance and ‘cultural’ push back when it comes to implementation.

How can service designers create services that simultaneously address customer needs both today and in the future? Using a new method called ‘triangulated recursive mapping’ to combine futures research with human-centred research, we learn to create services that are responsive to rapidly evolving customer needs over time.
