Service Design Bootcamp | Two-Part Series | June 21

Service Design is a well established, yet often misunderstood discipline that focuses on the development of solutions with consideration to all channels and touch points from both a user and organisational perspective. It’s a growing industry, with everyone from banks, to social enterprises using this to create value for their organisations, and the people they interact with.

This is a hands-on, crash course where you’ll learn a high level approach and key tools and practices of service design. You’ll design with consideration for both the user and the organisation involved in the service.

In this course, you’ll work through:

→ Discovery: understanding the needs and pain points of users; defining and prioritising the right problems to solve.

→ Ideation: developing a range of ideas to address the problems at hand.

→ Prototyping: testing and iterating the future service offering, including the customer experience and organisational capabilities

→ Communication and stakeholder engagement: articulating the many facets of your offering in a concise yet engaging way, to take stakeholders on a journey and get their buy-in and support.

This workshop is for anyone that has an interest in applying service design techniques to solve complex problems.
