Design and management

This from Bruce Nussbaum's blog - NussbaumOnDesign:Is Design The New Management Consultancy?. The answer is "almost but not quite." As he notes, some serious work is being done at both d-schools and b-schools. As I've noted before, North America has the potential for a breakthrough in this area, led by the trio of Roger Martin, Dean of the Rotman School of Business at the University of Toronto; David Kelly, the Design Engineering Professor at Stanford and founder of the D-School; and Patrick Whitney, the Director of the Institute of Design at the Illinois Institute of Technology, But policymakers aren't there yet in giving this change the boost it needs.
