Takeaways
from the DMI Insights Dinner
By Dr. Antonia
Ward, Design Knowledge Manager, Design Council
The DMI Insights Dinner, held
at the Royal College of Art, London, November 30, 2005, was the first
pilot event run by DMI/London as part of the Design Management Institute’s
effort to meet the requests for knowledge sharing on a local level by
many regions and cities throughout the world.
Chair Harry Rich, Deputy CEO
of the UK’s Design Council, welcomed forty delegates—many
but not all members of DMI—to ‘an evening of learning, sharing,
and meeting’. David Godber, Director of Nissan Design Europe, gave
an illuminating talk about the challenges he currently faces as head of
the Japanese car giant’s London studio at the Rotunda, Paddington,
UK. Describing the work of his 120-strong, multicultural cross-functional
team, David talked about the challenge of “establishing a vision”
and then communicating this to board members “…because they
are the people writing the checks.”

Increasing
Sales by Considering Disabilities
By Stephen B.
Wilcox, Founder and Principal, Design Science
From the Design Management Review, Vol. 16, No. 4, Fall 2005
If companies fail
to open up their design agendas to include those with physical and other
limitations, they are missing significant opportunities. Stephen Wilcox
defines the arenas that merit consideration and strategies for addressing
them. He critiques a valuable repertoire of inclusive design resources
and processes and presents examples to convey the hands-on reality of
his message.
