Making the case for service design

Making the case for service design

Fri, Aug 21, 10:30 PM
From Service Design Drinks Toronto
4.7

How do you communicate the value of service design at your workplace? Where does your team stand, **and** what is your role within it? We all know service design creates value, but pinpointing exactly *where* your org stands, and what role you should be playing to move it forward, is a different skill entirely. This session is about getting clearer on that. **Format:** Design jam **What to expect:** * A quick icebreaker * Opening context — a fast recap of the article and why it matters * A spotlight share — one person walks us through where their own org sits on the model, and what that's actually looked like in practice * Main activity — working solo, then in pairs, then as a full table * A quick close — one small thing to try shifting this month **To get ahead:** Read the [Service Design Maturity Model article;](https://service-design-network.org/community_article/the-service-design-maturity-model-a-strategic-framework-to-embed-service-design-into-an-organisation) it's a quick one, and it'll give us a shared language for the night. The model breaks organizational SD maturity into five stages Explore, Prove, Scale, Integrate, Thrive) and tracks how a service designer's role shifts through each: from scout > doer > trainer > facilitator > leader. No need to have it all figured out before you arrive. Just come ready to think out loud with a few new people. See you there!

This trip has flexible dates. If you want to come in on Friday, or leave Sunday. We will arrange the trip to suit the people who want to go. Noganosh Lake is a remote, quiet area. We have always been able to get a premium campsite there. Noganosh Lake is an non-operating Provincial Park. There is no Park Gate, no rules, and no fees. Most campsites have a fireplace with a steel grill and a thunder box. The Park covers 3000 ha of pristine forest, all of the land within 60 to 200 m. of the shore of the lake. The water is deep, clear and full of fish. There is one fishing camp with a few small power boats. There are no public roads. Noganosh is a remote, quiet area.

Frequently asked questions

Meetup is free to browse and join most groups, including civic communities. However, some specific organizations or events might have their own fees or dues, so it's always good to check specific group details.

Civic groups in Toronto may hold a variety of events including community service projects, educational workshops, and social gatherings. These events aim to engage members in meaningful actions that benefit the local community.

Meetup provides the platform for groups to organize events, but individual groups and hosts are responsible for the actual planning and execution. This allows for creative and diverse community-driven events tailored to the group's focus.

Yes, you can start your own civic group on Meetup. As an organizer, you'll have the tools to create events, manage your group's calendar, and build a community of people passionate about your civic cause.

Joining a civic group is a great way to meet like-minded individuals with shared interests in community improvement. By participating in events, you can make connections and friendships with others in the community.

While Toronto hosts a diverse range of interests, not every civic interest may be represented. Group availability and focus depend on existing organizers, but you also have the option to start a group if your interest isn't covered.

Meetup is designed for group activities rather than 1-on-1 connections. While you'll meet people at events, it's more about shared experiences in group settings rather than forming individual connections.

Event organization varies by each group's leadership and resources. While most strive for smooth experiences, there is variation. It's helpful to read group reviews or prior attendee feedback to gauge the quality.

Meeting people and influencing change takes time. While Meetup facilitates connections, making a tangible impact on your community is a gradual process requiring consistent involvement and effort in group activities.
