How best to Manage “Design”?

Wow a burst of link love and pointers from all my friends today seem to revolve around this theme. So I thought to compile it all right here in one place!

1) Managing Successful Client and Designer Relationships: Adaptive Path Blog.

2) Managing a Product’s Experience seems to be the key these days: Core77 Blog.

Transcendent product design is a matter of philosophy and approach. The reason product development has gone wrong is that people stop at the worst time—when the solutions are most convoluted. What Eastman knew, what Jobs knows, is that you have to go beyond; you have to think about the experience people are having.

3) Managing a Creative Environment, perhaps in your studio?

4) Managing Creativity De Bono Style.

5) Managing the Future of Design!
Martin Konrad’s recent master thesis in industrial design explored the areas of design democracy, personalization, and mass customization. A great read.

    DT,
    I have recently been writing case studies on the topic of Design Management. One of the themes that I have noticed that is recurrent when people discuss Design Management is that the actual definition of Design and Management are always completely different. In the links from your post it also seems a bit all over the shop in terms of every link defines it in a different way. I would be interested to hear your definition of Design Management. And your thoughts on the topic in regards to Design Management in creative studios and Managing Design in organizations.

    Cheers

    Commenting Rules: I love reading your comments as it allows me to interact and learn from you. Being critical is fine, giving constructive criticism, even better. However if you are rude, I will delete your comment. Repeat, and I will blacklist you. The world is full of negativity, so I don't need anymore on my blog, which I consider my online home. Would you encourage Neanderthal behavior in your home? Neither would I.

    Finally, please use your personal name or initials and not your business name. By doing the latter, it comes off like spam, and that’s an auto delete. Thank you and I hope you enjoy being part of the conversation!
