At the end of the ladder, participants who have completed all modules will be equipped to practice service design professionally and offer service design as a service to clients. Candidates will learn about principles, methods and tools. Timeline: Pilot of at least some modules or phases to be delivered in Q4 2023, with full second run in 2024. Target Audience: Designers who wish to practice Service Design and offer it as a service to their clients, external or internal. Designers who wish to apply the principles of Service Design to their work. Architects and Urban Planners who wish to incorporate the principles of Service Design to their work. Early Career Grads, to add this skill to their toolkit early in their career. Non design Professionals who wish to apply the principles of Service Design to their work or become service design practitioners. Key elements: Ladder: A full suite of modules which together empower candidates to begin their practice of service design in their career. Ladder/Rungs: Each module must provide value as a standalone, particularly to candidates who have established their careers and wish to apply aspects of service design in their work.
