Design Management: Managing Design Strategy, Process and Implementation

Rating (5/5) Rating

Design is no longer just the aesthetics of things – the ‘how things look’.  Design can be used to define vision, communicate your mission, training and guiding employees and much much more processes within any organization. Design is about interaction, connection humans to theory, abstracts or technology. The book ‘Design Management’ by Kathryn Best explores how to employ the power of design in every day processes of management an creative development of your company.

Loved it because:

  • Beautifully designed book, well beyond my expections in presentation
  • It doesn’t read to theoretical or scientific, its accessible to both designers as long-time organization managers
  • Loads of images, practical tips & cases painting a clear picture of what design management can do
  • Diverse content – there’s interviews, vision, step by step courses, case studies diagrams and book references
  • Most complete book on Design Management I’ve encountered so far

You might not like it because:

  • The book is huge and contains a lot of information to be absorbed in a few reading sessions
See on amazon.com »
