France is the country of Descartes with an engineering culture and companies are organised around a very centralised and hierarchical vision, very far from the cultural models of Northern Europe, more centred on people.
However, in the past years, design approaches have been on the rise: many agencies linked to the start-up ecosystem have emerged with the ambition of changing the organisations and working methods in large companies. Initially focused on digital transformation, they are increasingly interested in ecosystems and associated experiences.
The first mission of the French chapter is evangelization through Service Design Drinks and SD Meetup. The network has already organized the GovJam 2018 in Lyon which attracted people from all over France.
The second mission is the dissemination of good service design practices in France.
The third mission is to bring together the widely dispersed community in local events.
The Swiss Service Design Week is a celebration of all things Service Design with remote lightning talks and on-site workshops.
