About This Book
Although business leaders and designers may appear to have different objectives, they actually share a common goal: ensuring their organisation's long-term success and profitability. This book highlights the shared purpose, examining the progression of Design Strategy to bridge the gap between design practice and executive decision-making. Featuring the TRACES framework, it aligns design initiatives with overarching business goals, enhancing design-led strategies.
The topic is a timely one. A recent article published by FastCompany has touched a nerve among design leaders, highlighting the urgent challenges and anxieties they face about the future of design. It sparked a conversation about the need for a new direction within the industry. As we stand on the precipice of the next design shift and design leaders ponder their next steps, The Art of Design Strategy offers a much-needed perspective, providing insights on how to elevate design to a strategic level and secure its place at the heart of business innovation.What You’ll Learn
- Understand the key principles of design strategy and management.
- Build a design-led work culture within your organization.
- Examine the TRACES framework to align design initiatives with your business goals.
- Gain deeper insights of the future landscape of the design industry.
Who This book Is For
Designers who are interested in design management and its implications, transitioning from design craft to management roles, and managers and design leaders who are looking to understand the strategic value of design in various business areas.// FAQ //
