Design Matters with guest Rod Drury

Sponsor

Design Matters, and it goes beyond having a pretty website. Design is all about the end user, the customer. Jason Blumer and Greg Kyte discuss the five principles of service design. Good service design is user centered, co-creative, has sequencing, evidencing, and is holistic. Then Rod Drury of Xero joins the conversation to discuss how design has played a role in Xero’s huge success.

Thanks as always to our sponsors Avalara (who has supported us from day 1!) and WORK[etc] (brand new!).
