The third edition of Service Design South took place in July 2017 and lasted 6 days. For the first year we switched to a more compact and intense programme, spending the first day on theory, tools and processes and 5 days on client work.
We welcomed a wide range of international professionals with mixed skills and previous knowledge of service design. We based most of the learning on practical activities and informal discussion moments. Different groups worked with local clients on different challenges to create tangible prototypes and service components to share on the last day of the course.
We learnt that feedback is important and that people learn at different speed. One to one coaching on individual learning journey and personal projects became very relevant.
By the way, we had drunken-granitas, few nice fish based dinners and a boat tour!
