With participatory breakout sessions and thoughtful keynotes, this one-day conference will give you the concepts you need to talk to stakeholders in your organization about service design. It will give you tools you can use to gather the data that will inform your organization’s service design discussions. It will give you a platform to share your ideas and experiences designing better services.
The New England Chapter of the Association for Information Science and Technology, together with the Simmons College Student Chapter, invite you to participate in Service Design: The Holistic Experience.
