Business Perspectives for Design Leaders 2003 — 2003
A select group of senior-level creative leaders come together to discuss, network, debate and grow with each other. Business Perspectives for Creative Leaders is designed exclusively for design executives who work with clients to develop strategic design responses to client challenges. This response may be in the form of a comprehensive communication or positioning strategy, or the design of a range of products or services. Participants are likely to view the design process as an integral part of solving complex problems, whether that experience involves communication, functional or strategic design. This program is particularly beneficial to design professionals who deal with top-level executives and/or larger corporate clients.
