Strategic development of design
How to bridge the gap between strategy and design? In this talk, Professor Grimsgaard will encourage designers to see design through the lens of strategy, process and problem solving, and business managers, innovators and developers to see the value of design, as a means for the company to realize its strategy and achieve its goals. Strategic development of design is presented through a six-part phase structure that represents the strategic design process, covering initial preparations and project briefing, research and analysis, targets and strategy, concept development, prototyping and modelling, production and delivery. These six phases can be applied as a value-creating problem-solving tool.
