By gathering insights from around the world, we help share best and next practice in design and innovation. In turn we use this to inform national policies for government, the public sector and industry.
Business and the public sector need detailed information on design-led innovation to help them re-think what they do, recharge the economy and re-invent services.
We generate evidence about the value of design as well as new thinking on how best to use it - and we work to create change by sharing both with business, government, education and designers.
Through partnerships, we strengthen the place of design in the UK's strategies for economic recovery and renewal by influencing government policies. And through conferences, research and our own projects we keep decision makers, educators and innovators connected with the latest information and know-how.
