The International Service Design Institute (ISDI) has re-launched The Apprentice, a knowledge resource for building and improving services. The reference is available on Amazon.com.
The Apprentice is in response to high demand for a reference on service design techniques. The field of service design offers few opportunities for acquiring service design knowledge.
“The Apprentice covers a foundation of service design, from ideation, to identifying services, methods for creating loyalists and service design job opportunities,” Naomi Lantzman, co-founder of ISDI, said. “The book provides learners with practical hands-on service design essentials.
A service designer develops services, as a product designer develops products. The field of service design has evolved as a practice over the past 32 years with more than 2 million practitioners.
