Newcastle Service Design Jam 2012

www.globalservicejam.org

one weekend, just 48 hours...to design a brand new service.


Who? What? Why? When?

On 24th February, people interested in service design and customer experience will Newcastle to take part in an event taking place in cities all over the world!

We hope to have designers from all disciplines, students, academics, business people, and customers. In a spirit of experimentation, innovation, co-operation and friendly competition, teams will have less than 48 hours to develop and prototype completely new services inspired by a shared theme.

At the end of the weekend, the collection of brand new services will be published to the world. Join us at the Global Service Jam 2012.

Friday

5pm. we meet together in our location, we run through the weekend plan and say our hellos.

6.00 pm - A live video will be streamed from the Jam HQ and the theme is announced. We explore initial concepts and then from teams for the weekends.

8pm - We come together to pitch our ideas. Anyone can present their basic idea, groups form, and participants join the group that interests them.

8.30 - We continue our discussion in a nearby pub.


Saturday

9.30 start.

The groups work independently, supported by Mentors and Specialist Providers.  Research or observations are performed virtually, or through short excursions. The teams develop their service design and prototype it using whatever methods they choose. 

* Local Jams are in contact globally through social media, wormholes, carrier pigeons or whatever else we set up. Share, exchange, inspire. But remember – it is deeply Cheesy and Uncool to communicate the themes to teams to the West of you. For a level playing field, themes are announced at LOCAL time…

 

Sunday 3pm

The teams deliver documentation of a working prototype. This can be a film of human interaction, photos of a mock-up, a dummy website, or anything else that provides a permanent, publishable record of their idea and work. These are uploaded and published for the world under Creative Commons licensing. After publishing, teams can sit back, kick back, enjoy a well-earned beverage and browse through the global results. Or they can get busy supporting teams further to the west…
