Fable coverCharity workers looking to get to grips with digital service design can learn the principles in a new way, as of today, through a modern-day fable.
‘The Charity Worker and the Digital Service Designer’ is an allegorical tale that tells the story of a young charity worker’s quest to understand digital service design.
Unusually, it uses the structure and rhythm of a traditional ‘quest-based’ fable to entertain and teach readers.
Published by Digital Spark, a partnership within The Catalyst digital transformation programme, hosted by the Centre for Acceleration of Social Technology (CAST), it is a downloadable PDF that is 30 minutes long and designed to be read over lunch or an evening.
Author Joe Roberson described it as:

“A story is about people, not technical stuff. Our heroine is a young charity worker. She’s desperate to learn but can’t find anyone to teach her. So she goes on a journey with the mysterious digital wizard. Revelations abound and she learns the three secrets of digital service design, which she brings back as gifts to share with others.”
