The wonderful Morgan Miller shares his journey at Stanford, where he transitioned from an arts program coordinator to leading a service design team. Working in a complex higher ed environment, Morgan highlights the challenges and rewards of introducing service design to a technology-centric institution. Over the years, he navigated the intricacies of the organization, cultivated support for service design, and eventually formed an interdisciplinary consulting group. Morgan also discusses his initiative, Practical Service Design, aimed at demystifying service design and fostering a community interested in real-world applications of the discipline. The episode delves into the unique culture at Stanford, the role of brand identity, and the importance of leadership in advocating for service design in an institutional setting.
