Service Design

Service design combines key elements from user-experience design, interaction design, and quality management to create long-term value. In this full-day workshop, you’ll discover the basic elements of each of these disciplines and how they work together to raise customer satisfaction, increase conversions, and enhance key events along the customer journey.

This is a true workshop and our day together will be marked by many hands-on exercises. Not only are these fun, but they help you internalize the key features of service design so you can provide greater value for your employer or clients from the very next day.

Workshop will be in English

Workshop Facilitation

Love them or loath them, meetings are here to stay. So we need to get better at managing meetings and turn them from a productivity sink to a productivity booster. Enter the creative workshop.

By re-positioning yourself as a ‘design facilitator’ rather than a ‘design executor’, you will raise your profile, increase your influence and have a greater effect on product strategy. As such this is a must-do workshop for any and all user experience practitioners wanting to take their careers to the next level.

Stakeholder workshops are hands-on by nature, so the best way to teach these skills is through active participation. Participants will learn how to plan and moderate stakeholder workshops and how to perform a series of co-design activities or “design games” with stakeholders.

Q&A

Can I buy many tickets at once?

Great question. We like selling multiple tickets. Sadly our online ticketing platform allows for purchasing single ticket per one transaction. If you intend to purchase multiple tickets and / or want to pay via direct bank transfer please write to tickets@productcamp.pl.

Do you issue VAT invoices?

What sort of question is that. Of course we do. While making a purchase, please provide your company details and we’ll dispatch the invoice as soon as the funds are processed by the payment company. If you required a pro-forma invoice to initiate a direct transfer from within your accounting department, tickets@productcamp.pl.

Can I swap one workshop for another after buying a ticket?

Short answer: No. Longer answer: Sorry, we regret to inform you that we will not be able to support such requirement. Tickets are sold in batches, priced independently and sell out at different speeds, hence we would not be able to reconcile these batches if people begin to swap.

How can I return a ticket?

You can return your ticket until the 30th of April 2015. Please wirte to tickets@productcamp.pl.
if you wish to do so. You might experience a) an up to 14 days delay in processing the refund b) intermittent waves of regrets and second-thoughts.

I won’t be able to come. Can I give my ticket to someone else?

Seriously? Dude. This is likely going to be the best UX event in central-eastern Europe. Listen, the call is yours. If you want to be so generous, that’s fine by us. Please only let us know the details of the ticket recipient by emailing to tickets@productcamp.pl.
