Leadership by Design

The 29th International Design Management Conference

 

Chatham Bars Inn

Chatham, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA

October 24-27, 2004

 

DMI Annual Conference

As design takes on greater importance in the business enterprise, the responsibility of design leadership is growing exponentially. Design managers work within a global marketplace in which brands emerge and fade, products top the charts and drop off, markets shift and reconfigure so fast, that the slightest mistake is quickly magnified to huge proportions. In this environment, the management of design must move to an increasingly proactive position in order to survive.

 

During this conference, participants will learn from leading management visionaries the major components of leadership, collaboration, and organizational culture and how they impact building and maintaining successful leadership. Through in-depth keynote sessions, lectures, and case studies, attendees will examine and highlight the dimensions and actions that foster effective collaboration and how to create an organizational culture that supports design leadership.

 

The conference will be enhanced through a rich selection of focused parallel sessions that will address the design leadership from a variety of perspectives, as well as interactive discussions and networking opportunities. Finally, lively small-group exercises will promote teamwork and collaboration. From this experience, participants will be able to build on their inherent strengths to create effective methods of developing and maintaining successful design leadership vision.
