Review Download of the Month
Profiting
by Design
By Chris Bedford,
George Daniels, Gus Desbarats, Julie Hertenstein, Peter Phillips, Marjorie
Platt, and Rob Wallace.
From the Design Management Review, Vol. 17, No. 2, Spring 2006
The consensus that
good design and good business go hand-in-hand continues to grow. The challenge
is discovering ways to articulate, and yes, even quantify design's contribution.
Boldly and with an array of strategies, these individuals—Chris
Bedford, Julie Hertenstein and Marjorie Platt, Gus Desbarats, George Daniels,
Peter Phillips, and Rob Wallace—offer their insights on this important
but elusive topic.

The
Post-Industrial Economy: Design for Sustainability & Profit
A
Design Leadership Series Online Seminar
With
Gianfranco Zaccai, President & CEO, Design Continuum
Sponsored
by Microsoft
Tuesday, September 12, 1:00pm EST
We are well into
a post-industrial age and it is becoming ever clearer that sustainability
is not only a moral imperative, but good business. In fact, companies
such as General Electric and British Petroleum have identified sustainability
as a core mission. In the future, truly inspiring design will be that
which provides users and consumers with greater experiences, while taking
away unnecessary material and complex information.
The DMI Design Leadership Series consists of interactive presentations
that you and your team can access right from your desktop using Microsoft
Live Meeting.

Making
the In-House Design Function A Strategic Competency
A DMI in-house seminar
DMI’s popular
seminar, Managing Design for Strategic Advantage, is now available in
a new customized version designed specifically for in-house corporate
design groups who are searching for positive techniques to firmly establish
their group as a core, strategic, business competency. If your in-house,
corporate design function would like to move toward becoming a core, strategic
business partner, then this new workshop from DMI may be right for you!
Most DMI seminars
are offered to general audiences, but this workshop will be customized
to address the specific needs of each organization which requests the
workshop. Half of the workshop time includes a group working session to
address specific concerns your group is facing today, and developing a
plan to effectively move towards a new role for design in the company.
The workshop will be presented by Peter L. Phillips, author of Creating
the Perfect Design Brief: How to Manage Design for Strategic Advantage.
