The Extended Value of Design: An Advanced Design Perspective

摘要

Design is increasingly recognized as a key strategic asset and a source of added value for companies. The United States has launched a national design policy initiative to monitor and understand the role of design in the national and global economy, and the European Union (EU) is overseeing a series of public consultations on how the EU can further support design-led innovation, with the aim of integrating design into innovation policies. In the United Kingdom, the Design Council has performed a series of studies on design's role as a strategic instrument to maximize performance and trigger innovative processes, even during periods of crisis.
