Design as a strategic business tool
The dbc aims to show designers and businesses how design can be used as a strategic tool.
In 2010 the dbc was funded by Enterprise Connect to run a series of Design-in-Business strategy workshops that showed designers and businesses how to use design strategically.
The workshops showed designers how to develop a business case for design.
This was the largest project of its kind undertaken in Australia with 12 design studios and 20 SMEs all taking part in design audits.
