Key Lessons from a Service Design Community / #Circle Special
Manage episode 460142158 series 1206631
This one is a bit different...
Not the usual interview that you're used to.
In this episode, you'll actually hear me answering the questions.
Why? Well, it's become a bit of a tradition to start the year by reflecting on the lessons learned while building the Circle community.
The Circle started 3.5 years ago as an idea to see what would happen if we created a safe space for in-house service design professionals to connect and share regularly.
Today, it's grown to a healthy size with members from companies across the globe and in almost any industry you can imagine — from big tech to church organizations (I kid you not!). Service design professionals are everywhere these days.
I'm very grateful for where the community is today, but it certainly hasn't been a straight line up.
Designing a service (which is essentially what our community is) for service designers is quite hard, who would have thought? ;)
So, for this episode, I sat down with Ru Butler who's one of our Circle Council members to discuss the biggest wins, challenges, and ambitions for the coming year.
Even if you're not working in-house, I think you'll still enjoy this behind-the-scenes look at how we're thinking about and trying to design our community.
I'd love to hear what you think of this episode format. Would you like to hear it more often? How could we make it better? Any other feedback is welcome, too.

Happy 2025 and take care,
Marc
