Design has emerged as one of the most distinguishing factors in determining a company’s success. Products and services are a reflection of the internal state of the organization that designs them, and strategy, values, and principles are manifested through design just as clearly as power struggles and dysfunction. Truly great design doesn’t only communicate the world we live in; it also communicates a vision for the world we wish existed. Can’t the same be said for great brand communications? If design = communications, aren’t all organizations “design-centric” and all communications executives designers? More importantly, can we leverage design thinking to help us be more creative brand communicators?
