Value of design
IDSA -- News has published a selection of news items from their designBytes on the value of design. There are far too many stories for me to describe, but let me point out a few. There is a great story in the electronics industry newspaper EE Times on "Technology is dead. Welcome to the Age of Design." There is a link to the UK Design Council's report on the financial advantage of design intensive companies. There is a story from FastCompany on how Samsung has used design to transform itself. There is a story . . . Well, you get the idea.
Anyone who has any doubt about the importance of design in economic competitiveness and prosperity needs to spend a day reading these stories.
Then, come back and we can talk about what to do about it.
PS - Thanks to Bruce Nussbaum's blog for point this out.
