This course will introduce you to the fundamentals of service design and how it is evolving to drive change within government, public and social sectors.
Service Design is a human-centred process that takes into account how all parts of a service work together to meet not just the needs of the people that use it but also the organisations that deliver it. It’s much more than post-it notes and high fives. It gets to the root of systemic and complex problems and provides the tools and methods to deliver and drive sustainable change.
The course is split over 2 days consisting of 2 x 3.5 hours facilitated learning sessions and 1 hour of content to consume at your own pace.
Tuesday 10th October & Wednesday 11th October
We can also run a version for companies with groups of up to 25 and tailor the content for you. Contact curious@wearesnook.com to chat.
This practical introduction to service design allows you to learn by doing, supported through real world experience and case studies.
Building on examples from over a decade of Snook’s experience designing and implementing services with clients, course modules will include:
Those looking to move into service design or combine it with other disciplines.
Those who work closely with service designers as part of their roles (for example business analysts and service improvement teams).
Client teams who want to understand service design better so they get the most out of working with service designers.
The course is run remotely via Zoom. Bring pen and paper for sketching or taking notes.
The training material will be sent to you afterwards.
