Have you ever heard of ‘Goodhart’s law’?

"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."
Unfortunately, some of the most striking examples of this law can be found in measuring customer experience. For example, using the Net Promotor Score (NPS) as an employee feedback system.

This maybe has the noble goal to incentivise your employees to become more customer-centric. But it often results (also) in your employers asking for a good review.

Have you ever cheated the metric system for good targets? Or were you asked to cheat for your service provider? Let us know in the comments!

Smart technologies aim to make tech more human.

We’ve been fooled into thinking that sticking a chip into something will always be an improvement.

For us making smart technologies work for real people means 3 things:

1️⃣Build on real needs.
2️⃣Understand the difference between digital and real-world behaviour.
3️⃣Align with people’s values.

Liveworkers, Ben, Louka and Stein, had the honour of hosting our second two day masterclass on innovation, at the circular entrepreneurship hub, in this month.

We discussed the importance of transitioning current systems - a city, a sector, an economy towards a more sustainable future, diving into both the theory and practice.

In this workshop participants explored , (non)human actors, exchanged values and leverage points.

We especially enjoyed exploring non-human actors and how they can affect , like the weather, flora and fauna, and legislation.

Meet our new liveworkers, what better way to introduce them than asking, what service design means to them…..

Charlotte Kuijpers - Junior service designer : I think of service design as a continuous dialogue between the rational and the subjective. To me, it is the ultimate way to navigate complex human systems and find solutions that make experiences more valuable.

Rodney Van der Knaap -Junior service designer: To me, the core of service design is a deep understanding of people. The special value of this exploratory and cooperative way of working is learning about the needs, aspirations, and beliefs of users and figuring out how to link all components of an organisation to act on this.

Fabienne Van Leiden -Service designer: I truly believe that service design and service strategies can create innovative organisations that generate value for their customers and positively impact the world.

We are very excited to welcome Wiktoria, Gijs and Josh to Livework.

What better way to introduce them than to ask them what this subject we are so passionate about means to them.....

Meet our new Liveworkers:

✨Wiktoria Łucarz-Service design intern: For me, service design is a way of working together to change the world into a more liveable, just and sustainable place. It is also a way to fulfil my personal curiosity about people and organisations and my drive for complexity.

✨Gijs Rempt - Service design intern: For me, service design holistically combines user-centred design and business strategy into realistic design interventions. This serves to redefine the way we think about how we as humans interact with each other, the planet and ourselves.

✨Josh Brown - Finance assistant: Livework for me is about balance and improving the way companies and employees at all levels live and work.

Additionally the article explores insights on what a successful carbon tracking app would look like, and the progress needed in current app models to integrate a collective element, beyond individual behaviour.

'Courage to Design for Good' is the theme of the Service Design Global Conference 2022, taking place this October 12th, in Copenhagen, Denmark.

We are delighted to contribute. Please join our workshop on 'The clover 4: Design sustainably by default', by Liveworkers , Service Designer, and Anna Van Der Togt, Senior Service Designer and our Lead Sustainability.

They will discuss the ecological sustainability lens as the 4th perspective on change, complementing the lenses of Desirability, Viability and Feasibility.

“As we believe every innovation should deal with the transformation challenge at hand and the effect it will have on our planet, we need to structurally integrate these four perspectives in change frameworks and management tools. We can resolve user-related challenges, but balance them with cost drivers, organisational capabilities, and ecological ambitions.”

The workshop will reflect on how to systematically invite the sustainability lens into designing, measuring and managing services and how to elevate our toolbox to operate sustainably by default.

⭐️When: October 12th from 12:00 - 16:00

⭐️Venue: Red Cross, Copenhagen, Denmark

It's an in-person only event.
