💭 What does it really take to move from the boardroom to the blueprint? 🌟 Join us LIVE for SDN Community Voices nº052 | From Boardroom to Blueprint 🌟 In this episode featuring Michael Rawling, Design Director - Service, UX & Inclusive Design, we will unpack the realities of working at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and design, and what it takes to create value in complex organizations. We will explore a topic that resonates with designers, consultants, and leaders alike: the skills that help turn ideas into action and influence meaningful change. Together, we'll explore: 🤝 How sales, negotiation, and stakeholder engagement shape design outcomes 🤝 Building trust across business, technology, and design teams 🤝 The growing role of coaching and leadership in creating lasting impact Impactful service design often depends on what happens beyond the workshop. From building stakeholder relationships to navigating complex conversations, today's designers are increasingly called upon to lead through influence, collaboration, and trust. 📺 Live on SDN’s LinkedIn & YouTube 📅 Thursday, June 25, 2026 ⏰ 14:00 CEST | 08:00 EST | 20:00 AWST 🎙️ Hosted by Sudeshna Mahata, SDN Ambassador & Lead Community Voices Host 🎟 Join us live and be part of the conversation 💬 Drop your questions in the comments - we’ll bring them into the LIVE conversation. #ServiceDesign #SDN #CommunityVoices #DesignLeadership #BusinessDesign #DesignStrategy #Leadership #Coaching #ServiceDesignNetwork As part of our weekly series, we invite the Service Design Network community to learn, share, and be inspired by voices shaping our global practice.
