Design revolutions - A short history of designSnook
A presentation we've been giving regularly on why design thinking and service design exists. Now and through the ages of professionalised design to an open series of tools and methods for organisations to put people first.
This document discusses the history and evolution of design, from the industrial revolution to modern times. It covers key periods like the rise of mass production in the 18th century led by figures like Wedgwood, the spread of neoclassicism styles, and the development of "form follows function" philosophy in the late 19th/early 20th century. The document also discusses the growth of design as a professional discipline and efforts to apply design thinking principles to public services. It advocates for the development of design patterns to help apply evidence-based best practices to new projects.

Service Design Days 2018 - Masterclass Sarah Drummond (Snook)SERVICE DESIGN DAYS
From governments to national retailers, everyone’s talking about how design might help them deliver what they do more efficiently and enable better outcomes for their users. It's become the new competency that organisations are seeking to build into their capability set. From hiring designers to becoming 'user-centered' as an organisation overall, people are flocking in their droves to grab a bit of the good stuff to make what they do, better for all and help their bottom lines. But it’s not easy to build this as an organisational competency. How do you do it? Where do you start? And once you’ve started, where do you go next? What does ‘getting there’ look like? What might the journey look like and what will I need to invest in to become ‘user-centered'?
In this masterclass, you will get to know how organisations are embedding design from starting out to scaling up these capabilities across their organisation to sustain design and grow a culture that focuses on delivering services that continuously meet user needs. You will learn to use Snook’s approach to embedding design at organisations, and what’s important to consider from choosing the right projects to work on to how to build products that scale Service Design in the longterm. You will work on practical exercises, reflecting on the 'design capability framework', to highlight what works well at what stage, what you can prioritise and what you should avoid doing.

A comparative analysis of Two Digital Platforms Designed for the Interaction ...Kelly Kiyumi
Paper presented at 10th Design Principles & Practices International Conference held at Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio) by Kelly Kiyumi Shigeno & Daniela Kutschat Hanns (25 February 2016).
Abstract: Social interaction strategies and related topics of digital design - such as interface, usability, and gamification - are key elements in terms of engagement for designing digital platforms. In this paper, we focus on service design elements in a comparative study of two digital platforms designed for public service: Colab and Rio 1746. The first is an initiative developed for citizens in a bottom-up approach intending to establish communication with city managers. The second was created by the City Hall of Rio de Janeiro and follows a top-down approach, being designed as a call center for the city residents. Both platforms are designed to keep track of the life-cycle of city related problems and issues by monitoring events on public management as trash removal, tree falling, and urban equipment maintenance until their final resolution. In addition, both platforms keep a communication channel between public managers and the civil society. In our holistic analysis, we choose to perform an oriented navigation and concluded that both applications need to improve in terms of engagement and social features in order to design better interfaces to foster a tight communication between citizens and governments
An urban design presentation for staff and members at Wakefield MDC advocating the principles of good design, the economics and social benefits of good design.
The Next Big Thing Urbanism Workshop was an initiative to take previous design and community development efforts of Glass House Collective to the next level.
During a two-day intensive design workshop, over 100 workshop participants proposed ways to improve Glass Street while maintaining a realistic attitude about both big and small moves that, collectively, could begin to enhance the prospects for the neighborhood and its citizens.
Teams were asked to consider how improved urbanism could have a positive impact on various aspects of the neighborhood, including business viability, quality public spaces, access to services, improved housing options, increased public safety, and opportunities for the community to engage and contribute.
Designs needed to leverage the variety of assets that already exist in the community including physical places, existing businesses, individuals, organizations, previous accomplishments, and sections of the built environment.
What resulted were dozens of creative, realistic, and scalable urban revitalization tactics for improving residential, commercial, and public space within a 5 minute walk radius surrounding historic Glass Street, each contributing to the revitalization effort already underway. Designs specifically addressed implementation within 1 month, 1 year, 3 year time frames, prioritizing lighter, quicker, and cheaper techniques.
While not all the proposals generated will be implemented as designed, they will be the basis of successive small neighborhood workshops to explore specific concepts, projects, and implementation tactics reflecting the residential, commercial, and public space needs of the Glass Street community. Glass House Collective will work with the neighborhood to adapt designs, ultimately using a bunch of little things to create the next big thing on the street.
Using the lenses that Glass House Collective sees their work through, the Outcomes of The Next Big Thing Urbanism Workshop have been organized into three categories:
• Here Because We Love It Here, proposals focused on Creative Placemaking
• Bringing Life Back to Glass Street, proposals focused on Feet on the Streets
• The Next Big Thing, proposals focused on New Partnerships
Not all proposals developed during the workshop are included in this document; however, those that most closely meet the mission of Glass House Collective have been compiled and described in the pages that follow. The appendix lists all project proposals from each team.

It provides examples of using social media, community media projects, and co-production with young people to empower communities and challenge stigma around mental health. Design approaches that shift power and involve marginalized voices in collaborative problem solving are highlighted. While technology alone cannot fix youth mental health, enabling young people as partners through digital literacy and citizenship can help them take an active role in their own wellbeing. Sustaining change over the long term requires changing systems, policies, and addressing injustices in addition to innovation.

DOTI North - Data and Design; Prof Matthew ChalmersSnook
Matthew is a professor in the School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow. His work focuses on data visualisation and analytics, data ethics and ethical systems design, and mobile and ubiquitous computing.
Matthew worked in industrial research labs, including Xerox PARC in Palo Alto, California, before returning to Scotland in 2000. Since then he’s been an academic at University of Glasgow, leading projects exploring topics such as mobile computing for health and fitness, user experience design that bridges digital and analogue media, using commercial app stores for user trials, and large scale data analytics and visualisation. Today he’ll be talking about an approach to the design of complex systems that could perhaps be better known outside of the world of research: ’seamful design’, that started at PARC in the 1980s, and which he and his research group have advanced over the past years.
Peter is the Chief Information Officer for North Lanarkshire Council. He is responsible for delivering transformation through information, technology and business processes aligned with the strategic ambitions of the Council.
Recently, the Canadian government heard about the work that North Lanarkshire are doing on the master citizen record. They called the council and had a conversation. They liked what they heard so a few days later, they sent a representative from Canada to Motherwell to find out more. They were so impressed by what the council told them that they have said they would take the same approach. Peter is going to share with us what he told them.

Put on your own oxygen mask before helping others Snook
The document discusses the high costs that mental health problems place on UK employers and employees. It notes that 84% of employees have experienced poor mental health influenced by their work. The presenter advocates establishing a culture where it's okay to ask for help and prioritizing self-care, managing projects carefully, and supporting both staff and participants to avoid designing future experiences at the cost of present ones. The "Jenga of mental health" framework outlines focusing on self-care, opening work cultures, designing projects mindfully, managing projects slowly, and supporting staff and participants.
The document discusses mental health issues in the UK workforce. It notes that mental health problems cost UK employers almost £35 billion per year, including costs from sickness absence, reduced productivity, and staff turnover. Additionally, 84% of UK employees report experiencing poor mental health that has been impacted by their work. The presenter advocates for improving mental wellbeing in the workplace through self-care, establishing a supportive work culture, designing projects carefully with health experts, managing projects in a balanced way, and supporting both staff and project participants.
The document discusses failing better and learning from failures. It notes that clients may not understand what they are commissioning. When projects fail, clients may say things like "We already knew this" or "This isn't going to help us." The document reflects on the author's past failures to deflect stress, maintain their leadership role, and treat themselves ethically. It advocates reframing failure as unclear criticism and making psychological safety a priority to learn from mistakes and build support through professional networks.
The document discusses reasons why services fail and the consequences of failures. It suggests that services fail when they do not meet customer expectations or are too complex. When services fail, it can cost organizations money and damage customer relationships. The document proposes several ways to address service failures such as establishing service recovery processes, analyzing usage data to identify problems, empowering users and staff to solve issues, and designing services with failure scenarios in mind. Overall, the key ideas are that service failures are costly so they must be anticipated and systems put in place to respond effectively.
Maa s scotland designing user-centred servicesSnook
The document discusses the importance of designing Mobility as a Service (MaaS) solutions in a user-centered way. It recommends following three steps: 1) Conduct research to understand user needs and contexts, 2) Co-design potential solutions with users and stakeholders, and 3) Test and prototype concepts with users to refine them before implementation. Done correctly with user input, this process can help ensure that the MaaS solutions developed will actually provide value and be services that people want to use.
The document discusses the importance of self-care when designing services and experiences for others. It outlines six areas of focus for self-care: 1) self-care practices for individuals, 2) creating a supportive studio culture, 3) thoughtful project design, 4) risk management in project management, 5) staff well-being, and 6) avoiding retraumatization of participants. The overall message is that designers must first take care of themselves in order to ethically and effectively help others through their work.
We begin by exploring what is meant by cognitive impairment, and some of the difficulties and challenges faced by people with varying levels of cognitive impairment, including specifics issues related to adaptation and abstraction. We consider how designers (who can also be viewed as ‘outsiders’) can act as enablers, supporting people with cognitive impairments to contribute their insights and ideas to design services that work for them. We emphasise the importance of mindset and methodological framework, and, in the spirit of sharing and collaborating, use examples from practice to illustrate the iterative development of a range of methods and tools to create a safe and supportive co-design environment.
The document outlines a framework for designing health services. It begins with pre-discovery to understand problems and create discovery briefs. Then moves to discovery research, building alpha concepts, beta testing, and live launch. It also outlines six key principles for service design: accessibility, agency, confidentiality, continuity, trust, and being welcoming. Finally, it proposes three areas for improvement: better service integration, prevention focus through partnerships, and co-designing with the community.
The document outlines design principles for digital cities, including delivering value to citizens, staff, and managers through customer satisfaction, staff retention and wellbeing, and financial sustainability. It also recommends pooling resources by opening research, data, and designs, building from the bottom up by starting small and building on existing assets, and designing with users by going out to users and supporting their participation. The principles are presented by Anne Dhir, Project Director of We Are Snook.

Finding problems and

Here’s my top five IT fix requests:
1. Use standard usernames
Each system appears to require its own type of login. My usernames include
hoggda80645, david.hogg. dhogg, hoggd, hoggd80927, DHOGG,
80927hoggd and david. Add to that inconsistent passwords (some requiring
uppercase, some not allowing uppercase, others needing punctuation).
Solution: We need this to be standardised. The NHSnet email address is a
good place to start for a username or alternatively couldn’t we use the
registration number - GMC, NMC, HPCC? The username ‘gmc123456’ makes
a lot more sense.

83. TD’s (which is the Government elected

Councillors (Local Elected Members)

85. Re-designing the service:
Great engagement from

Ran prototyping workshops to design what
information is needed
Breaking down the content
Co-designing the needs across different users
86. Language was important
Senior management recognised how
important the language was when
we walked through the service
visually in the co-design workshop
87. Usability Testing:
Testing our design with
elected members
Usability testing on the YourCouncil.ie
(Firmstep platform) allowed us to
quickly test our designs and find out
what worked and what didn’t before
going live
88. Processing Reps
The processing of documents by
housing policy reduced from 15
minutes to less than 2 minutes per
rep. In most cases elected members
are submitting relevant documents.
This means roughly a week of time
saved per administrative staff member
per month.

were previously waiting weeks
despite having a KPI of 3 days.

once they’re in the system.

Cost Savings in postage
There is a cost saving in postage of
€1 per acknowledgment and
response.
This is a saving duplicated for the
council and the elected members.
We think this is roughly €12,000 a
year in savings for the council and
elected members
92. Cost Savings in staff
We’ve cleared the backlog so much
so that the staff member we had been
working with has been freed up to
work on other projects and initiatives
two days a week. 2Days a week for staff
members now free
93. The real value of the service
emerged through this work
Reps are service co-producers in supporting some of the
most vulnerable and marginalised in our communities.
94. We’ve hooked housing
Our short intervention created an appetite for more
Service Design. We’re now looking at repairs, enquiries
and grants.
96. Winning Hearts and Minds
“For me, the greatest part of the process had to be changing people’s mind-
sets. Initially we weren’t given the go-ahead to work with elected members.
After taking senior management in housing through the process, they got
onboard, organised information and training workshops. I skipped back to the
office”

We can follow transactions by
service users to continuously
tweak our services and we are
