This event is particularly beneficial for:

• - Those who have independently started a design department but don't know where to begin.
• - Non-designers who are unsure how to leverage design for business success.
• - Individuals struggling to convey the importance of HCD or UX principles within their organization.
• - Participants at the early stages of their projects who lack confidence in how to proceed correctly.

Background of the Event

Amidst rising demands in the corporate world for innovative solutions, many professionals find themselves at a crossroads, facing sudden assignments that require immediate and practical outputs. It’s no longer enough to implement superficial strategies; true success hinges on understanding and addressing the fundamental challenges users face. The Service Design Discussion Room aims to offer invaluable learning and the necessary connections for those navigating these pressing challenges in design and organizational structure.

The Format of the Discussion Room

Unlike a traditional, lecture-style seminar, this event focuses on engaging with participants' real-life challenges. Attendees who feel burdened by the need to advance projects alone or those uncertain about where to initiate change in a large organization are encouraged to join. The team of designers from Apiritz will provide tailored guidance, looking to address specific concerns from participants and strategize collectively on relevant topics. Together as a group, participants can equip themselves with “the tools to avoid missteps” as they embark on this collaborative adventure.
