Strategic Design

Full-Time Programme ― 120 hours (one month).
Part-Time Programme ― 120 hours (five week-ends).

The Executive Programme in Strategic Design prepares experts and consultants able to carry out design and management activities in the process of innovation of the product system. Through its innovative didactic mix of theory, design and application, the program is able to generate the conditions that allow its students to look at the current business landscape from a systemic and 360° viewpoint, that is necessary for the development of radical innovations in products, services and communication strategies.

The social demand for a new generation of products and services, coherent with current socio-cultural transformations and their sustainable development, becomes an opportunity for companies that are able to operate in context of this new design mentality, this unique meeting of design and company strategy: strategic design.

The course aims to build a specific competence in the areas of strategic design, innovation and design of the product-system. The high professionalism is achieved through developing three main skills in regards to companies (and society): vision, ability to sense the signs of innovation tendencies and ability to formulate solutions. In other words, it is the ability to design products and services, the success of which is the anticipation of what will be, or should be, the norm tomorrow.

The executive program in Strategic Design focuses on managerial role in the product- system innovation process: the integrated body of products, services and communication strategies that business and social actors conceive and develop to obtain a set of specific strategic results.
