About this course
In this workshop you will experience the power of Service Design Thinking first hand. You will not only become familiar with the fundamental tools and methods of service innovation, but also learn about the strategic design process and key skills of facilitation.
As well as teaching the theory and practice of service design thinking, the school emphasizes the key skills of facilitation. A variety of stakeholders need to be effectively involved in the development or improvement of a service. This means not only being able to use the toolset, but also to guide others through the process. TiSDD participants will have opportunities to learn and apply tools, as well as facilitate others in using them.

What you'll learn
The main take-away of the workshop will be the ability to apply several tools to your own business problems in order to innovate towards new value propositions. You will be able to instigate real service innovation projects in your organisation, leading and facilitating small project teams focused on individual service elements, or developing new value for your entire service offering.
