 Leading a global organization in a very large company is a complex undertaking that requires a designer to show up as a businessperson in the context of their discipline. There has been no better source of information or networking for me than DMI. The opportunity to connect and share best practices with like-minded souls is invaluable, and DMI is the only place you can do it.

As a consultant, I'm often challenged by new subjects. My first reaction is to search through DMI's website for inspiration and information that can help build my case. As a member, I can download the all the articles I need. I find it really convenient to have the knowledge and experience of my colleagues at my fingertips!

(DMI) is the best kept secret in the industry. The content that DMI deals with is usually the answers to all the questions that many are afraid to ask or don't know who to ask.

DMI is a fantastic resource to network with thought leaders within the business and design community. I particularly enjoy the DMI conferences, which allow me to interact with practitioners who have successfully created value for their customers. DMI is an excellent source to foster an open dialogue between business and design minds.

To succeed as an entrepreneur, I continually need to make new, strategic connections. DMI brings together professionals who not only think about the future of business and design but drive it. DMI isn't about design management, it's emphatically about design leadership.

I became a DMI enthusiast when I participated in a DMI-driven Harvard Business School case study 20 years ago. That innovative program and DMI's work since has helped me become a more effective design leader.

DMI provides access to valuable information from leaders in design from diverse fields, backgrounds and geographies.
