Service Design Show

By now we all know that storytelling is one of the most powerful tools in the service design toolbox. But can we also use storytelling to actually improve our own practice? Steve Portigal thinks so and he explains why in this episode. And how well aware are you of your own biases, beliefs and assumptions when you go into a project? Learning to better listen to ourselves might be a key to get more meaningful work done.

For this we dig into some economic fallacies that might have to do with this. The big question of this episode is: When has storytelling worked for you (and when did it fail)?
