levels. By showcasing its impact all the way up to industrial and national application, students will gain a deep understanding of the nuances, scope and scalability of design. Filled with vibrant case studies and guest perspectives from a spectrum of industry leaders and policy makers, this book is
an invaluable real-world commentary on design's role as a key asset in organiZational activity. The book's engaging and accessible style provides students and practitioners with everything needed to foster a climate of creative engagement.Online resources include a valuable toolkit of PowerPoint
