DESIGN MANAGEMENT

DESIGN MANAGEMENT

Orange Branding has been a member of the Design Management Institute in Boston (www.dmi.org).

Where Design Management is defined as:

 

“Design management encompasses the ongoing processes, business decisions, and strategies that enable innovation and create effectively-designed products, services, communications, environments, and brands that enhance our quality of life and provide organizational success.”

 

On a deeper level, design management seeks to link design, innovation, technology, management and customers to provide competitive advantages across the triple bottom line: economic, social/cultural, and environmental factors. It is the art and science of empowering design to enhance collaboration and synergy between “design” and “business” to improve design effectiveness.”

 

We see design management as follows:

• Manage design projects for our client
• Manage the process of design for our client
• Manage design as a culture for our client

 

Whatever service matches your needs.

 

Orange Branding has experience since 2005 in providing these services in China.

 

Why would you need Design Management?

The question would be better, what if you don’t have design?

There are so many examples why design matters:

• Apple CEO Steve Jobs, worked directly with the Chief Design Officer
• When the Apple CDO left, Apple lost 9 bn US$ I stock value in one day
• In (economic) downturns, companies with a design culture perform better

Apple’s share price fell by just over 1 per cent in early trading in New York, trimming $9bn from its market value

 

We recommend to read the books and articles of Brigitte Borja de Mozota.

 

Brigitte Borja de Mozota started her career in 1969 as a buyer in the Department Store chain “Au Printemps” and as an entrepreneur for an import company that specialized in distributing designer gifts and party goods. She believes that working with designers is what made her a better manager. Through that experience she was convinced of the importance of design in management and has made it her life’s goal to try to prove, convince, and share with people the “joy of working with designers.”
