On the Scope of the Design Management Discipline

While my last posting on “Design (Management) Definitions” evolved from heuristic web browsing it seems to have attracted two readers: Jörg Walters (Amsterdam/NL) and Mark Fenwick from ‘nesta’ (London/UK) to post their highly interesting comments.

While Jörg states that Designers and Design Managers shouldn’t claim to have answers to every problem, Mark provides a good example that also “non-designers” might have answers to “design problems”.

Mark refers to the recent nomination of Hillary Cottam as “Design Museum’s Designer of the Year” which seems to have caused a lot of attention since she is the first non-designer (what is a non-designer anyway?) awarded with this prize ever.
