The service design course was upgraded and updated to reflect the latest developments in service design, which are affected by dynamic and constantly changing geopolitical situations, technological advances in AI and other disruptive technologies, and the ever-changing environment. The sustainability theme was selected due to limited resources, climate change, and the urgency of reducing consumption. Therefore, the course is an excellent opportunity to experience contemporary AI-formed service design and circular business services firsthand. A red thread in this service design course is analysing and redesigning carefully selected sustainable and/or technology-driven services weekly in a group of diverse professionals across the EU.

The course starts by discussing what service design is in the current, ever-changing context and its possible future developments. The second session presents numerous service design tools that are process or customer-focused, life-, planet or environment-focused, systemic, or strategic. The third session expands on systemic and strategic service design dimensions following the lecture that examines the changing landscape of value creation in the complex service ecosystem level. The lecture placed before the digital co-design workshop looks into sustainable customer experiences and their personalisation with adopting AI. The co-design workshop is the highlight of the course that enables the redesign of company cases by utilising sustainable strategies on product/service, business, and ecosystem level. In the last reflective session, participants present the course learnings implemented in their company’s day-to-day work activities. The lectures are complementary to each other.
