DMI's award program honors excellence in design
management.
Design Management Team of the Year
The Design Management Institute is proud to announce the establishment of the DMI “Design Management Team of the Year” award. This honor will be granted to design management teams that demonstrate exceptional business practice. This year, the criterion is based on longevity in the field, coupled with relevancy of design work past and present.
The 2006 DMI Design Management Team of the Year was introduced at DMI’s 31st International Design Management Conference in Manchester, Vermont. The inaugural award was issued to two leaders in the industry who have succeeded in 80 years of practice: Philips Design and Teague.
2006 Winner Profiles
John F. Nolan Award
This prestigious award by the Design Management Institute is granted
to a senior non-design executive who has been an active champion
of design for economic and cultural development. Bruce Nussbaum,
BusinessWeek’s editorial page editor, has been selected to
receive the first DMI John F. Nolan Award.
The award honors John F. Nolan who, as president of the Massachusetts
College of Art, encouraged the creation of the Design Management
Institute and provided it with extensive administrative support
including space and staff during its formative years. Mr. Nolan
also served on the Institute’s Board of Directors for the
first five years. He was a mathematician and graduate of MIT. He
worked at Lincoln Lab in pioneering computer research. He was one
of the founders of "Art and Technology" which led to his
appointment as President of the Massachusetts College of Art, where
his leadership resulted in tripling of its' size and the extension
of majors to include film, video, and the Studio of Interrelated
Media among others. While he was president he offered the college
as a home for such innovative groups as Adaptive Environments, a
pioneer in Universal Design. His openly encouraged the founding
of DMI and subsidized it out of the college budget for over three
years. After Mass Art he became Editor-in-Chief of MIT's Lincoln
Lab Journal.
Muriel Cooper Prize
Muriel Cooper was a key early member of the
Board of Directors of the Design Management Institute (DMI). The
prize in her name, created in 1997 by Design Management Institute
President Earl Powell, pays tribute to her as co-founder and late
director of MIT Media Lab’s Visible Language Workshop, and
honors an individual who, like Muriel herself, challenges our understanding
and experience of interactive digital communication.
With this prize, awarded annually, the Institute
recognizes outstanding achievement in advancing design, technology
and communications in the digital environment.
