IS DESIGN THE NEW MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT?

A serious body of thought and methodology is emerging that challenges the role of traditional management consulting.

Who do you hire when you need to fix your company? Designers.

The idea? Design is so fundamental to success and designers are such natural problem-solvers, that design firms are morphing into innovation and strategy consultants.

"True design thinking means that design is a verb and not a noun. It's a better way of thinking and not a production process that's applied at the end of a project. Design is so much more valuable when it's brought in at the start of a project or the start of a problem."
