Public Services by Design
live|work present to government on design for the public sector
live|work have been pioneering the use of Service Design in public services for the last five years on a wide range of projects. We are now supporting the Design Council who are developing a national programme to bring design to the public sector.
Kicking off the programme with a seminar, attended by Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) John Denham, the Design Council asked live|work’s Ben Reason to present our Make it Work project for Sunderland City Council as a leading example of how design can benefit public services.
