TESTIMONIALS

At the recent internal IBM design festival (SPARK),  through the Practitioner Curriculum SDN Acc. Practitioners Tracy and Arun, presented a 10-min talk on our learning journeys in transitioning to Service Design. During the talk, they spoke about the SDN practitioner's course. You can watch it here:

This course opened up my eyes to service design thinking and the different ways to apply it. Service design thinking is not just for service designers! I'm excited to take away what I have learnt and apply it to my role to take the way I work to the next level!"
