Our accredited learning introduces and builds expertise in service design practice. We’ll work with you to ensure we’re aligned on the objectives and outcomes of your training programme. You’ll set the business challenge for participants to ensure they can relate their learning to your organisation and their roles.
We’ll share a comprehensive priced training proposal for your approval. This will include a development schedule, delivery dates and post-training support including toolkits, a summary report and a Data Analysis and Reflection session. We also offer follow-up mentoring sessions to support small groups of colleagues to implement their learning on future work-based projects.
