It’s always an excellent opportunity to catch up with people, so I really hope to see you there.
This year, I’m also running a workshop alongside my brilliant Service Design in Practice co-facilitator, Katie Driver.
Our session, "No more content vomit: how to train like a service designer" (19 Sep at 11:30 am), is all about how to use your service design skills to plan learning experiences for wider members of your team.
About the session
Service design is a team sport, and sometimes you need to train other folks so they can join the team. What if you considered that training as a design challenge, instead of a dreaded delivery task?
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll show you how to use your service design skills to plan learning experiences that work.
Whether you’re running a one-off session, building capability across a team, or are tasked with the dreaded “skills and knowledge transfer”, we’ll help you move beyond content delivery towards designing for relevance, relationships, and reflection.
You’ll leave with a reusable worksheet, ideas on how to reuse tools from your existing design toolkit, and practical ideas you can immediately apply for more impactful learning design.
