Thomas
Lockwood Appointed New DMI President
Off to a great start
in 2006, DMI is pleased to have Thomas Lockwood, PhD join DMI as the new
President. Dr. Lockwood comes to DMI with over 20 years experience in
design management on both the consulting side and the corporate side,
most recently serving as a Brand and Design Director for Sun Microsystems. Lockwood succeeds Earl Powell, who became President Emeritus on January 1. Powell will continue part-time working on DMI projects, providing counsel to Lockwood, and pursuing his interest in woodworking.
“I am thrilled at the
opportunity to support the international design management community by
helping organizations worldwide better understand the effective management
of design for economic growth” said Lockwood.
This year DMI will
focus on further developing research, thought leadership, and member value
in the area of design management. This is a very exciting time for DMI
as the Institute expands internationally. Lockwood holds a PhD in Design
Management from the Harrow Business School, University of Westminster,
London, an MBA in Design Management, and BA in Marketing and in Visual

Review Download of the Month
People
as a Source of Breakthrough Innovation
By Stefano Marzano,
Design CEO & Chief Creative Director, Philips Design
From the Design Management Review, Vol. 16, No. 2, Spring 2005
The product visions
are startling—jackets with cell phones and MP3 players, multimedia
furniture, a radiography department where patients design the scanning
experience. With these and other examples, Stefano Marzano articulates
Philips Design’s human-centered techniques for exploring the frontiers
of creativity—strategies that blend an in-depth understanding of
markets, the firm’s special competencies, and the interface with
customers.
