Service Design YAP How should seasoned service designers invest their personal development budgets?
Often as not, we get to the end of the year and find that we haven't used up all, (or any) of our training allowance. We know that this is doubly true for more experienced hires who want to focus on "craft" rather that those exploring the "leadership" pathway. Exciting client work keeps getting in the way, but that's no excuse.
In this episode we talk with two accredited Master Service Designers, Katie Murrie and Kim Anderson. Both work as educators at the Service Design Academy in Dundee, Scotland and share their journeys to mastery. They also talk about the career benefits of accreditation and provide tips for those considering becoming accredited.
Katie and Kim also talk about a spectrum of CPD options for for experienced Service Designers, ranging for Tuscan retreats with the Co-Creation School, through to free and fun design safaris.
