I participated in another Clive's short program last year.
Since then, I have been vaguely interested in the field of service design. At my current company, I work in the very department that is in charge of services.
One of the most difficult things for me is to get an overall picture of the service. I could learn about tools and methods from books, but it was quite difficult to actually apply them, and I felt that I was not making much use of them in my work.
The theme for our team was the financial services of the future. When I saw it, it was so far from my area of expertise, and I was worried that I would not be able to make it through to the end.
But we could make up a good output, and I could feel that we had learned a lot.
What impressed me the most was Clive's words which was: One of the roles of a service designer is to lift the entire team's spirit and create an atmosphere that makes everyone involved in the project.
The classic image of a designer is that of a solitary craftsman, but I felt that that image will change in the future.
I hope I will apply what I have learned to my actual work and deliver "WOW! to many people by using services I'll create.
