Championing great designto improve lives
‘to promote by all practicable means the improvement of
design in the products of British industry’ - 1944
The Design Council today
Design Commission Restarting Britain (2013) report states:
“The challenge for the coming decade is how best to ensure that public services are reformed swiftly to meet 21st century needs at a cost that taxpayers can sustainably afford.
We believe significant rewards- in terms of maximising policy effectiveness and lowering overall costs – could be reaped by the public sector taking a proactive, deliberate and professional approach to ‘designing’ what it does for its citizens.”

Why be people centred?
• Don’t create ideas in a vacuum.
• Seek to understand people’s needs….by spending time with them.
• Observing people and their environments up close can reveal fresh opportunities to innovate.

Prototyping
Manage risk by trying things out quickly and cheaply.
Why collaborate & iterate through prototyping?
• Testing an idea early helps manage risk.
• Quick and cheap mock-ups provide early feedback and can save money.
• Almost anything can be prototyped to test thinking before bigger investments are made
• Encourages ‘smart’ failure.
