The four powers of design: A value model in design management
This analysis proposes a framework to bridge the gap between the world of designers and the world of managers. Illuminating her thesis with examples from Steelcase, Decathlon, and other companies, Brigitte Borja de Mozota parallels design's ability to differentiate, integrate, transform, and contribute to the enterprise and bottom-line results with a corporate focus on markets, processes, talent, and finances

A theoretical model for design in Management science : the paradigm shift in the design profession for management as a constraint to management science as an opportunity
Design Management has changed greatly since 1990 Peter Gorb definition .The purpose of this paper is to synthetize the various models of Design Management and to explain their limits in front of the paradigm shift of the design profession, changing âfrom an activity based profession to a knowledge based professionâ professor Yjro Sotamaa- UIAH
The territory of design in Management science will be developed in detail with the limits of these diverging forces. The converging model of Design value management based not on practices but on management science models will be explained with its proactive force. Finally ,this value model will be applied enhancing its pertinence in the emerging âdesign leadershipâ trend and consequently the potential for a âdesign thinking â input in front of the new challenges of contemporary managers : sense building, complexity , innovation , Socially Responsible Organizations

Design and competitive edge: A model for design management excellence in European SME's
This article suggests to use the conceptual model of Michael Porter Value Chain in order to integrate all the variables that explain the mechanism of value creation through design.
The results of the study of 33 European SMES participating in the European Design Prize explain the role of design in the management of innovation, identify the variables that characterize design management and classify them according to the value chain concept.
The main result of this research was the typology of design management strategy.
Three clusters emerged through the analysis and the managerial value of design was demonstrated
Forty Years of Research in Design Management: A Review of Literature and Directions for the Future
Defining the research in Design Management (DM) involves the intersection of two disciplines: management sciences and design sciences. We focus on design management research and summarize the diversity of the relationship between these two interdisciplinary fields through a study of the international literature published between 1977 and 2017 on the subject. Firstly, the hybrid territory of design management is defined through its keywords and their evolution; using various definitions of design management, a representation of the place of design within organizations then starts to emerge. Secondly, the analysis focuses on the five key themes of design management developed in the literatureâ the value of design, the methods and skills of design, the tools of design, its integration in other functions, and the theme of âbetter manager by designââas well as the resulting models. Finally, this review of the literature highlights the emergence in the discourse of two complementary forces: design management and design leadership
Value of design competencies within an outcomes-based education
What should we teach to the designers of the future so they can embrace
complexity by developing forms that are creative and human, and consider the
different aspects of life in a changing world? What are the specific learning
outcomes that should be formulated in the planning of a design curriculum?
What are the most important design competencies that should be considered in
this process? How would design competencies add value to design education? In
this paper, we intend to study the value of design competencies within an
Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) curriculum framework by understanding the
interconnections between design competencies and their related learning
outcomes. In this order, we first determine design competencies and subcompetencies
as âthe proven abilities to use knowledge, skills and personal,
social and/or methodological abilities, in work or study situations and in
professional and personal developmentâ (Savic & Kashef 2013, p. 990). Then we
revisit the definition of design as a profession in the 21st century by a
comparative analysis of designersâ perception of their own knowledge, skills and
attitudes acquired through their education and applied within their design
practice. Finally, we will discuss a new model of design competencies, which
would enable educators to articulate practice-based learning outcomes that will
in turn enhance the value of design education in the new era

Bridging Strategy from Both Business Economics and Design Sciences
Consensus on the impact of design on perfor-mance can be said to be evident at all three levels of decision-making in organizations: strategic, tac-tical, operational (Brunswicker et al. 2019; Gemser & Leenders 2001). This impact broadly assumes the following forms:
âą Design impact for strategy in action and customer experience
âą Design impact for business strategy, process, innovation, and performance
âą Design impact for cultural change and organization transformation
Despite these revelations, precious little guidance is found in the way of forming a holistic view of the why of design science, core capabilities, theo-ries, and methods in business economics and the ultimate pertinence of the design function in any given organization. Similarly, the how, which would outline the ways in which these capacities could be built and coordinated towards the support of stra-tegic design and forward-looking decision-making processes is at best assumed, yet very rarely articulated.
This issue includes both the papers from academia and professionals we received through our Call, as well as the results of a complementary survey con-ducted by the editors with Chief Design Officers. Our editorial foreword uses the model (Figure 1) as the framework for a synthesis, linking strategy in design science and strategy in business science:
Part I - The vertical axis of Strategy from Vision to Mission through Value: design strategy versus cor-porate strategy, and business economics in design-driven organizations.
Part II - The horizontal axis of Strategic Manage-ment and the Strategic design decision path. From design leadership and strategic positioning to busi-ness strategy and design management to strategy in action and design
Design management: changing roles of the professions
This paper sets out to explore how recent changes in
procurement in construction have affected the roles that
professions play in the design process. It discusses how
professions that traditionally took the role of design
manager now find themselves participating within
previously unforeseen contexts, working in multidisciplinary
teams led by contractors and with changed
responsibilities at the design stage. Supply chain members
who were not previously involved during the early project
phases are being engaged at the earliest phases of the
project life cycle and even taking leadership roles while
designers sometimes work as supply chain partners.
A study of design in construction and other sectors shows
that in dealing with design management issues it is critical
to deepen appreciation for the unique characteristics of
design and the design process. The paper argues that
contractors and designers taking on design management
roles in a dynamic industry seeking to explore best
practice and innovative approaches to procurement and in
the delivery of projects need to acquire new skills,
management education and develop the necessary
qualities
Co-design, evaluation and the Northern Ireland Innovation Lab
Around the world there are more than 100 policy labsâmulti-disciplinary government teams developing public services and policies using innovation methods to engage citizens and stakeholders. These policy labs use a range of innovation methods and approaches, including co-production, co-creation, co-design, behavioural insights, systems thinking, ethnography, data science, nudge theory and lean processes. Although the methods may vary, one element is consistent: policy labs actively, creatively and collaboratively engage the public and a wide range of stakeholders in jointly developing solutions. The Northern Ireland Public Sector Innovation Lab (iLab) is part of a growing UK and international community of policy labs using co-design to engage with users for value co-creation, aiming to improve public governance by creating a safe space to generate ideas, test prototypes and refine concepts with beneficiaries. Drawing on iLabâs experience, this paper explores three questions: What are the main determinants of effective co-design? What are the unintended consequences of co-design? And what lessons can be learned from iLab and shared with other policy labs
