Do you recognize this feeling... As a service design professional you\'re the last one who\'s invited to the party (often when it\'s almost over).

\\n

This isn\'t just bad for your morale but it also limits the value you can create. The holistic nature of service design requires you to be part of the "upstream" conversations. But that\'s easier said than done.

\\n

Because how do you make sure that you get invited to the right conversations, with the right people at the right time? Unfortunately the service design textbooks don\'t teach you any of this stuff. You have to look in different places to find answers.

\\n

Where? For instance in this episode of the Show. In this episode you\'ll hear 6 service design professionals share their best tips with you that have helped them to get a seat at the table.

\\n

And also learn about the pitfalls you really should try to avoid. Unless you don\'t mind being the last one invited to the party of course. This is one of those conversations that you wish you had heard earlier :)

\\n

Knowing how to get a seat at the table is skill that **every** service design professional should master. That\'s why in this episode you\'ll hear tips from someone who runs an agency, someone who\'s in-house, someone who\'s at a product focussed startup and others!
