Creating Collective Impact – Service Design at the Center of Good
Service Design can be an important way to highlight the impact that our organizations and the experiences we create make in the world. This is true in the nonprofit sector, although often the term service design does not always mean the same thing across the sector or mean the same as how we have come to use it in product development. Its outcomes however can bring extraordinary impact for the organization itself, but also the clients and community that nonprofit serves.
In this talk, Jenny Kempson, Social Impact Program Lead at Capital One, will walk through the unique challenges, practices, and roles that service design plays in the nonprofit sector amongst a variety of disciplines; such as public health, city development, small business entrepreneurship, and economic inclusion for older adults. We will hear about the similarities and differences in the role of a service designer inside a nonprofit organization, a social impact agency, and in a corporate social responsibility program. Along with the common the tools, languages barriers, and impact metrics that are important to each.
