In this unit, students examine design leadership and learn various approaches that can be applied to elevate the value of design in an organisation. Students learn about what it means to be a design leader and how to tap into their design skills to be a better leader. The unit demonstrates how to use design as a method for navigating an organisation and use people-centred strategies to map the internal context and external factors which influence strategic design and leadership. Students will learn how to grow their influence by design and create an enabling environment for design in their organisation. In this unit, students will learn about the potential and pitfalls of leadership in organisations, challenging each one to consider their future as a design leader. The aim of this unit is to provide students with tools, methods and models that can be applied within organisations to enable growth in strategic design and leadership.
