It is now widely accepted that design generates products, services and experiences that are sources of competitiveness. Well-managed design creates innovation and differentiation, strengthens brands and identities, ensures customer satisfaction, and ultimately secures a unique strategic position in the market.
Design management – integration of design in the company’s management –, which should appear as a key driver of any company's strategy, still remains largely unused.
We invite you to share European experiences (and even Brazilian!), discuss and consider new ways of better disseminating design management within businesses. Schools, which shape tomorrow’s decision makers and entrepreneurs, appear as a central resource.
- The European Union supports design
- To encourage SMEs to consider design as part of their strategy
