Service Design Facing Forward Opening Seminar

Facing Forward: Rory Sutherland, Vice Chair of Ogilvy and behavioural science expert will talk with the RCA Service Design graduates on the new ideas they will be presenting in RCA2021. Their work is spread across 7 themes and we will hear their manifesto for each one with highlights of the work and a chance to speak to the students directly during the event.


Responsible Data - projects that look to gain value from data, to connect us together, promote ethics in startups and attract user feedback in early stage digital development.


Building Resilience - in health, teenage years, gender relationships and our workplace.


Cultural Systems
- how we interact with our surroundings, history and our future, from museums to automotive systems.


Sustainable Culture and Practice - making choices to be conscious consumers, moving faster to sustainability and creating authenticity and trust.


New Business - new ideas for better businesses from caring for vulnerable workers to mergers and acquisitions.


Reimagining Agency - radical visions for the future that re-connect the human and provide them agency to manage and control.


Designing for Equity - Beyond equality is equity, where we help all to have an equal chance to thrive - from female urinals in Amsterdam to working with migrant children in China.


These are exciting ideas for our next times, come and discuss how best we can Face Forward.
