Sid’s day – script to go with video
I’ve dug out this document, to give you an idea of how we thought our persona, ‘Sid’ would interact with the service we were seeking to provide.

I’m hoping that someone has shared footage, as what I captured is unusable due to a problem with my video camera :-(
Thoughts
I’m coming to the view that the future is going to be increasingly unstructured, and so being part of an event which starts in a completely unstructured way, and moves towards structure is a good way to practice – even if it felt disorientating at times!
It was also a chance to do something different, and learn something new – i.e. service design. Most of the work I have done over the last dozen years of more is around delivering services, so service design is both daunting (given the potential scope of many services), and exciting in its possibilities!
I am also exploring Cynefin framework for making sense of the “un-ordered domain”. I’ve been listening to Dave Snowden’s podcasts, and I’m exploring this domain further.
Useful learnings
I’m planning to buy the following books:
Big Thanks
Hopefully the following sums things up!
Massive gratitude to @LouisePapadop @nippr & top man @andy_doodle for putting on cracking weekend of @GSJ_Newcastle #jamnew #gsj12 cc @gsjam

Massive gratitude Andy, Louise, and Niels – congrats for everything that paid off from all your hard work!
Wash up
I think Service Design is directly relevant to my experience and interests, and Gamestorming promises to be a fascinating source for learning new ways of running business workshops.
So, I’m happy to have gained practical experience and ‘internalised’ a new domain of knowledge. Roll on more learning!
Update
27/3/12 – I’ve added the Sid’s day script.
