Q: Why should I invest in the Design Leadership Program?
A: From the business perspective, the Design Leadership Program was designed to help participants be able to bring more value to the business they lead by taking more strategic decisions through the lenses of design. The participant will be also able to manage and grow teams, and help them perform better, enhance the quality of the design in the business, and operations, and evolve the design maturity within the organization. The program also aims to equip the participants to strengthen the organization business model, and bring more diversity, ethic, innovation to the design practice.

On a personal level, the Design Leadership Program was created to help designers become more confident in their practice and leadership and more experienced in facilitating and managing teams. The program aims to guide the participant in how to develop diverse teams, articulate the value of design to their internal team and key stakeholders. The Design Leadership Program is a leadership training, going through facilitation and articulation of design as a strategic asset.
