“…This stage involves developing identified contexts into design fiction storyboards that encompass fictitious but plausible future service scenarios involving service innovation applications and consumer interactions. Crucially, the design of each service scenario should “pull” people into a near (or far) future with the aim of not merely describing some personal application but immersing them within a service context (Rijkens-Klomp et al , 2017). The challenge is how to imagine and subsequently construct pertinent and resonating narratives about the emergent technology that may be visualized through the diegetic prototyping process.…”

“…From the analysis of visual and narrative data, a series of central tenets may be formed that explicate the development of a service Extending our example of application at stage 2, evaluating future technological developments for IoT requires an assessment of the impact of service innovations on the relationship between people and devices, encompassing socio-cultural, technological, institutional, demographic, ecological and economic developments (e.g. Rijkens-Klomp et al, 2017). This stage of research development therefore involves identifying emergent IoT technologies and classifying them by usage and developer intentions.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a design fiction diegetic prototyping methodology and research framework for investigating service innovations that reflect future uses of new and emerging technologies. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on speculative fiction, the authors propose a methodology that positions service innovations within a six-stage research development framework. The authors begin by reviewing and critiquing designerly approaches that have traditionally been associated with service innovations and futures literature. In presenting their framework, authors provide an example of its application to the Internet of Things (IoT), illustrating the central tenets proposed and key issues identified. Findings The research framework advances a methodology for visualizing future experiential service innovations, considering how realism may be integrated into a designerly approach. Research limitations/implications Design fiction diegetic prototyping enables researchers to express a range of “what if” or “what can it be” research questions within service innovation contexts. However, the process encompasses degrees of subjectivity and relies on knowledge, judgment and projection. Practical implications The paper presents an approach to devising future service scenarios incorporating new and emergent technologies in service contexts. The proposed framework may be used as part of a range of research designs, including qualitative, quantitative and mixed method investigations. Originality/value Operationalizing an approach that generates and visualizes service futures from an experiential perspective contributes to the advancement of techniques that enables the exploration of new possibilities for service innovation research.

“…Although designers may consider future as an intrinsic part of the design process, few design methods seem to focus on describing or imagining the future based on, for instance, trends and long-term technology development. Nevertheless, the fields of design and foresight have many similar characteristics, and in recent years the mutual benefits of translating methods and techniques for cross-fertilisation has gained attention from both fields (Rijkens-Klomp et al, 2017). This article is guided by the following research question: How might horizon scanning be applied in the early stages of design to identify potentially disruptive technologies?…”

Technology development is accelerating, driving disruption. Design is seen as key differentiator in creating innovative offerings but few design methods consider future technologies explicitly. In this article, we explore how a foresight method, namely horizon scanning, may be applied in a design context to anticipate disruption of construction. By means of a 3-step horizon scan, we identify 133 potentially disruptive technologies from across industries. We find that when preparing for disruption, design may benefit from the future-oriented and technology-focused features of horizon scanning.

“…Juist in het kader van het belee~aar maken van de toekomstverkenning zijn kruisbestuivingen met de design--wereld veelbelovend [28,60]. Het gaat dan vooral om de kruisbestuiving met stromingen als 'conceptual design' en 'specula;ve design'.…”

“…En hoe werken toekomstverkenningen vervolgens in op de denkprocessen van de gebruikers ervan? Hierover is nog maar weinig bekend (zie ook [60]) en zou meer empirisch onderzoek welkom zijn. Het zou het verkennen waard zijn ook met onderzoekers in de context van specula;ef en conceptueel ontwerp ervaringen te delen en aan verdere theorievorming te werken.…”
