Show notes

Cork County Council is the second largest local authority in Ireland. They offer over 600 services to the civilians of Cork.

EPISODE 29: ARENA LIVE - HUMAN CENTRED ORGANISATIONS Dec 20, 2018

Show notes

As we shifted from a product-based economy into a service-based economy, customers are more and more pampered with good services. To be successful, companies more than ever need to offer services that exceed the expectations of people. So in order to offer the best services, companies can do two things. On the one hand they can work closely together with external professionals. On the other hand, they can expand their in-house expertise by training their own employees to think more human centred. To introduce and present both ways of working, we invited two international speakers who shared their knowledge.

EPISODE 28: DESIGNING TO DELIVER - A CONFERENCE RECAP Nov 29, 2018

Show notes

We went to the Service Design Global Conference in Dublin where we attended lots of inspiring talks and hands-on workshops. Again, it was a truly amazing edition! It's surprising how this conference manages to touch new topics & give new inspiration every year. Hats off to the organisation! We also really enjoyed the social aspects of this conference. Since this wasn't our first SDGC, we saw a lot of familiar faces and like every year we had the chance to get to know many new people. During these moments we got the opportunity to interview some service design 'rockstars'. You can find a compilation of these interviews here.

EPISODE 26: Arena Live Service design and education Jul 03, 2018

Show notes

New technologies, a continuously changing lifestyle and new jobs and disciplines present serious challenges in the field of education. Old education methods and skills are challenged in a society where personalisation, collaboration, information and e-learning are taking over. Professionals have to re-educate themselves and schools need new tools and solutions to be able to innovate and make these changes manageable. How can Service Design help education deal with these challenges and inspire people to solve problems in a creative way?
