The 'Trojan Horse' Strategy for Sustainable Service Design / James Chudley / Ep. #230

The 'Trojan Horse' Strategy for Sustainable Service Design / James Chudley / Ep. #230

Let's be honest, unfortunately not many business truly cares about sustainable services...

The energy debate around AI is finally highlighting digital services' environmental impact. But every service, digital or physical, consumes resources: energy, materials, and even our time. As service designers, we have a moral obligation to design with sustainability at the core.

This episode tackles the real challenges: clients not asking, defining "sustainable," and measuring impact. Our guest, James Chudley, shares key lessons and real-world examples from his journey, showing how he integrates sustainability into daily design.

Discover what it really takes to design services that are better for customers, better for business, and better for our planet. Plus, uncover a deceptively simple design principle that guarantees more sustainable services.

Can you guess what it is? The clue is in this episode.

Keep making a positive impact on customers, business, and our planet!
