DESCRIPTION:AIGA Portland and 52 Limited invite you for an evening with J
 elly Helm.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWhat’s happening with the business of advertis
 ing? What will the post-consumer economy look like? What is going on in 
 sustainability? Jelly Helm is the first to admit that he doesn’t know. B
 ut that’s not going to stop him from speculating about it in public\, to
  anyone willing to pay for it. In the spirit of Designspeaks\, Jelly’s p
 resentation will be full of cockamamie theories\, wishful thinking and (
 at least some) poetry. He may also give us a sneak peek of the new work 
 he’s done with the Oregon Council for the Humanities\, and get all froth
 y about his newest client\, Wikipedia. You’ll be anything but disappoint
 ed.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nSo be sure to join us\, to engage with Jelly and othe
 rs\, and consider what has passed and what may come. Seating is limited\
 , so please reserve your spot now.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nCost:&#13\;\nMembers: 
 $8 in advance/$10 at the door&#13\;\nNon-Members: $18 in advance/$20 at 
 the door&#13\;\nStudents: $5&#13\;\n&#13\;\nA selection of beer\, wine a
 nd non-alcoholic beverages will be provided. ID required for beer and wi
 ne.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nAbout Jelly Helm&#13\;\nJelly Helm is a writer\, desi
 gner\, film director\, creative director\, and teacher. His clients incl
 ude Imperial Woodpecker\, Oregon Humanities\, Infectious Diseases Resear
 ch Institute and Wikipedia. He is formerly an executive creative directo
 r at Wieden + Kennedy\, and founder of W+K 12.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nAbout Desi
 gnspeaks&#13\;\nThe Designspeaks series\, developed by Portland AIGA and
  in partnership with 52 Limited\, showcases the most intriguing designer
 s in the Pacific Northwest. Some of our guest speakers in this quarterly
  series will be stars and some will have managed to maintain a lower pro
 file\, but we can assure you\; all will challenge you to think a bit dif
 ferently about design and its impact on community. We’re continually twe
 aking this series as an intimate venue for the creative community to con
 nect to others\, to see what they are doing and how they’re doing it. Th
 ere is no specific format for Designspeaks. Basically\, it’s a small tal
 ks gathering intended to inform\, inspire and engage.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nLau
 gh. Cry. Ask questions\, please. But whatever you do\, join us! Won’t yo

 \n&#13\;\nWant to take your stakeholder workshop facilitation skills to 
 the next level? Learn the basics of service ecosystem mapping and how it
  applies to identifying and solving system-level problems.&#13\;\n&#13\;
 \nWhile the increased popularity of service blueprints and customer jour
 ney maps is an encouraging sign for the proliferation of service design 
 into the mainstream experience design toolbox\, the fact remains that by
  themselves\, they aren’t always ideal methods when dealing with senior 
 business stakeholders in the context of overall business discovery and s
 trategy. The theory behind systems thinking and an approach to visualize
  the service ecosystem at a high level should be part of the toolkit of 
 every design strategist.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nLearning the basics of facilitat
 ing ecosystem mapping exercises goes a long way towards being able to id
 entify the role and influence a company has in its ecosystem\, and pinpo
 int which key parts of that ecosystem should be given strategic priority
  (and consequently be journey mapped/blueprinted in detail if those jour
 neys are deemed critical). Understanding an organization’s ecosystem is 
 not (just) about visualizing and diagramming it. Being able to identify 
 and apply the right lenses to craft a visual representation that tells a
  compelling story can become a key sense-making tool in your strategic a
 rsenal.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWhat topics will be covered?&#13\;\n&#13\;\nCore 
 concepts of systems thinking and how it differs from our traditional way
 s of representing and understanding complexity.&#13\;\nFraming\, boundar
 y setting\, and its importance in identifying the scope of an ecosystem.
 &#13\;\nThe most common types of ecosystems and a methodology for ecosys
 tems mapping.&#13\;\nWhat exercises will be done?&#13\;\n&#13\;\nThrough
 out the workshop\, a combination of presentation\, discussion\, and indi
 vidual and group hands on work will be used to tackle an ecosystem of yo
 ur choice. Participants will work in groups (4-6 per table) towards conc
 eptualizing a service ecosystem map.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nAny requirements for
  attending?&#13\;\n&#13\;\nThe material is best suited for intermediate 
 to senior researchers &amp\; designers\, product managers\, and business
  leadership looking to add new techniques derived from systems thinking 
 to their method toolbox. The workshop assumes some prior exposure to vis
 ual design thinking and a basic understanding of classic service design 
 methods\, though neither of those is a prerequisite.&#13\;\n&#13\;\nWork
