Manage by design.
Great managers are also designers—of processes, projects, strategies and systems. Today’s innovation-driven market demands dynamic business leaders ready with new alternatives, game-changing ideas and fresh perspectives on emerging problems in the world. Weatherhead School of Management’s Department of Design & Innovation was created to promote and nurture bold and innovative scholarship that anticipates and leads burgeoning business practice.
Weatherhead was the first to develop a Department of Design & Innovation. Launched in 2013, the Department of Design & Innovation merged the faculty members formerly in the Marketing and Policy Studies and Information Systems Departments. The department focuses on two core priorities:
- Creating knowledge for generating novel and valuable products, services and systems.
- Developing organizational leaders and entrepreneurs who are skilled in designing innovative, value-creating relationships with customers, stakeholders and society.
