* a bureaucratic process doesn't work for most users

* but each individual user thinks the problem is rare and just bad luck they were affected by it

In this episode, we're joined by Lou Downe, author of Good Services and former director of design for the UK government.

We sat down with Lou and asked—Where is service design going wrong, and are we even doing service design?

Among the topics we touched on were: The complexity of modern services and the complete reliance on infrastructure, as well as the importance of service literacy for leaders.

I'm putting together a service design workshop looking at intersection of the digital divide and equitable #museum services.

I'd really appreciate some 'critical friends' to take a look at the proposed deck and workshop outline. Why not take a look at the draft and leave your thoughts: docs.google.com/presentation/d
