Hi Jeff,
it kinda ethoes Live|Work’s Service Envy concept – using rather than owning!
Although Live|Work switch to promote ‘Service Thinking’ now… they invent funny names for things/ideas, don’t they? Wonder if the glossary helps them to differentiate themselves in the crowded Service Design consultancy market in London ;o)

Hi Qin,
I’d say it definitely resonates with Live|Work’s “we are what we do, not what we own” point of view.
Thanks for the pointer toward Service Thinking, I hadn’t come across that term before. Anything that helps push forward the conversation is welcome in my opinion.

well… it is on their website:
http://www.livework.co.uk/articles/service-thinking
Also comes with it is the
‘Service Design + Service Thinking = Service Equity’
Eh… i just came across it last night as well… was about to blog it but think I’d better take some time to think if it is a fresh new concept or just another way to marketing…
