Background

Highly practical Workshop

Suitable for anyone leading co-creative activities, such as service design or design thinking work, sprints, ideation or prototyping workshops, hacks and jams; or guiding learning events like (design) training.

This three-day course dives into facilitation concepts and practices, with a goal of understanding how adults work and discover, as well as better comprehending our own behaviour and preferences as a facilitator. Through a series of highly interactive activities, participants will imagine and test facilitation techniques and methods. They will have opportunity to practice and get feedback from both faculty and their peers. At the end, they will be fully equipped for leading their own workshops within service design projects and elsewhere.

(Please note: this is not a service design course; it is about facilitating service design activities. If you are looking for service design training, we recommend This is Service Design Doing: Executive School, or This is Service Design Doing: Essentials.

General info

This is Service Design Doing moves service design thinking from theory to practice, connecting customer experience to business success. The School facilitators Adam, Marc, and Markus, together with Jakob, also published the book with the same name. With cases and tips from 300 contributors, the authors outline tools and methods, discuss running workshops, sprints and projects, and explore embedding service design.

The co-created script of past editions of the schools laid one of the foundations for the book’s content.
