To design effective user-focused services, we need to use data. We need to understand how people are using the service, what works for them and what doesn’t. There can be no service without data.
But as designers, we have to focus on user needs. That means we need to address users’ data needs as well as their service needs. We must design good services based on good data that don’t infringe on people’s privacy. This means we have to look at questions like: what data is my service collecting? How and when is this data being used? Who has access to this data and who owns it? And how do we keep it secure?
As service designers working with data on a daily basis, Maria Izquierdo and Martin Jordan want to raise awareness of the value of data to services. And they also want to discuss fundamental questions around what happens to that data.
Maria is a designer interested in diversity, digital culture and the public. Martin helps create better public services in the UK and researches service innovation in Finland. Both Maria and Martin work as service designers at the UK’s Government Digital Service in London.
This edition of Service Design Drinks was hosted at HERE in Berlin-Mitte.
