PDR International Centre for Design and Research reposted this
#Design is not only for making things look pretty - and it's not only for making things! Any business can benefit from a design-led approach, and those that do can expect to see increases in #productivity, #profit and #resilience. According to the Design Council, a £1 investment in design can yield around £30 in returns. Research also shows that businesses using design are more prepared for #decarbonisation. A design-led #sustainability strategy helps businesses to move beyond compliance and to realise the innovation opportunities that sustainable business brings. In short, design is a key #green #skill. If you want to explore how design can help your business to become more sustainable, then why don't you come along to one of our upcoming workshops? A warm welcome and a lovely breakfast/ lunch awaits! Sign up here.

2025 marks twenty years since Berlin was designated a UNESCO City of Design – a milestone that presents both an opportunity to celebrate achievements and a moment to reflect on how the city’s design ecosystem can evolve to meet future challenges. Anna Whicher and Piotr Swiatek recently facilitated a design policy workshop, bringing together a diverse group of stakeholders to explore Berlin’s strengths, challenges, and opportunities for growth. This collaborative effort aims to shape the future of design in Berlin by developing a comprehensive Design Action Plan. Curious about our findings and strategic recommendations?
