“…The contribution of this work of revision, analysis and updating of the Scenario Building methodology, therefore, sees the importance of the research phase not as a critical and superfluous step offering volatile hints without a possibility of concreteness; indeed, it is a fundamental phase, especially if spread throughout the process and not just its initial steps, because it empowers the scenario researcher or designer, creating awareness and helpful knowledge to make the scenario real, be it in the short, medium or long term. Just as the system is increasingly recognised as a living ecology that grows, declines, changes, and evolves (Sevaldson, 2022;Walker et al, 2004) the scenario has indeed similar intrinsic peculiarities. Even more revealing is the fact that a new awareness of Scenario Building towards sustainable transition has emerged from this analysis, namely the realisation that the scenario is not a static snapshot of something to be achieved, but is a dynamic ecosystem of actors, relationships, and actions in constant evolution.…”

The connection between sustainability and the future has its roots in the early days of environmental movements. The report 'The Limits to Growth ' (Meadows et al., 1974) highlights how sustainable action implies wide-ranging, systemic considerations and forward-looking thinking. This is also reflected in the definition of Sustainable Development provided in the Report 'Our Common Future' (WCED, 1987). Working for sustainability, in fact, usually means taking a long-term approach, which also ties in with radical and socio-technical innovations. In recent times, however, the world has faced complex systemic social, technical, and environmental challenges, which will be increasingly interconnected and interdependent. Systems theory allows us to rethink such phenomena as isolated elements and complex systems made up of many interacting parts (Vargo et al., 2017). Placed in a timeline, it is possible to highlight how changing events are getting closer and vertical, showing us a new vision of time and the future. Scenario Building is a widely used method in design to generate future visions. By applying a systemic lens to this methodology, this paper aims to provide a new awareness through which it can emphasise the relationships that a new future implies and underlies. The analysis has made it possible to define new characteristics of Scenario Building that emphasise its relationships and spatio-temporal connections. These new considerations converge in the Design for Sustainability Transitions perspective, showing how the designer, thanks to the connections capacity and envisioning, plays a crucial role in transforming a socio-technical system (Ceschin & Gaziulusoy, 2019).

“…Gigamapping is one such framework that can allow for the involvement and discussion with stakeholders, including service staff, students and university staff. In Gigamaps, one can then use a 'ZIP approach' where you Zoom in, identify a Problem and suggest how to Intervene in the system (Sevaldson, 2012). The design PhD is expected to not only conduct individual research, but also to facilitate the co-design process bringing in the findings from the individual and community lense, and work through the three disciplinary perspectives to understand, How can existing formal and informal health services and service systems in Trondheim and Gjøvik be designed and implemented in a more useful, sustainable and holistic way?…”

StudyWell: a co-design project for enhancing student mental health and wellbeing through service design and relational welfare

Students mental health is declining. StudyWell is a project aiming at positive impact on student mental health in student cities in Norway; by integrating relational welfare with service design, and the study environment as a starting point. We discussfour implementation challenges: First, co-design depends on a shared mindset across disciplinary boundaries. Secondly, balancing the lenses of individuals, community, system and future require facilitation. Thirdly, societal impact requires continuous partner anchoring. Finally, approaches must not further pathologize university student.

“…However, it is essential to recognize that with the rapid development of the world, Service Design is facing increasingly significant complexity and large-scale problems brought about by the dynamic changes inside and outside the service systems, multi-actor dynamic interaction, and interdependence challenges in its environment (Dorst, 2015;Manzini, 2011;Villari, 2022;Vink, 2021). The interconnectedness of things brings complexity, so systems must be viewed holistically to identify effective leverage points and further foster systemic transformation (Meadows, 2008;Sevaldson, 2009).…”

The scale and process of Service Design are expanding and evolving as the emerging challenges they face become increasingly complex and uncertain. In order to cope with the systemic complexity and uncertainty of future changes when designing service (eco)systems, more holistic and speculative dimensions are needed to be considered. In the field of design, Systemic Design and Speculative Design are considered to have the capacities to deal with systemic complexity and critically consider future uncertainty. Therefore, this study aims to explore from the theoretical level to the operational level to understand if and how Systemic Design and Speculative Design can help to expand the Systemic and Speculative dimensions into Service Design. Through literature review and expert interviews, this paper presents the theoretical relationships between these three approaches and discusses the opportunities and criticalities of approach integration. In the end, we propose three future research directions and open up open questions about Service Design evolution in Systemic and Speculative dimensions.
