DESIGN MANAGEMENT MAGAZINE TAKES ON CHALLENGE OF LIVING WELL BY DESIGN
The quarterly magazine published by the Design Management graduate program has just published its fifth issue, focusing on designing for new economies and redefining the role design plays in social innovation.
Since launching in May, 2009, CATALYST: Strategic Design Review has received significant praise and attracted high-profile contributors. The editor in chief of Metropolis magazine has praised the publication for its “timely coverage… beautifully crafted layouts… and liberal mix of topics.” The Design Management program, which offers an alternative to the traditional MBA focused on the needs of creative professionals, was selected as one of Business Week's best global programs.
The Fall, 2010 issue “Designing Wellbeing: For All and Each”—is one that Mary McBride, chair of the Design Management program, says “makes apparent that creating economic value can also create well-being for individuals, community, and our shared world. Strategic design can create alternatives that are cost effective and toxin free.”
Feature articles consider wellbeing, social innovation, and policy in Europe; community wellbeing at the state-of-the-art, LEED-certified entertainment venue Brooklyn Bowl; and the Rainforest Alliance’s creation of sustainable business standards.
CATALYST is free to online subscribers. If you would like to enter the conversation about how design and business can create social innovation and new economic value, view the current issue.
