Lucy Kimbell works as a fellow in Design Leadership at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford with a background in interaction design and visual/live arts.
I’m a regular visitor and reader of her blog not only because it is very nicely demonstrating an attempt to create transparency on what is actually going on in an “MBA Design Leadership” programme.

Lucy named her blog “Design leads us to where exactly?” which I find belongs to one of the basic questions when it comes to convincing the business side on the value contribution of design as a function & method.
A definite answer to her (smart) question is from my perspective impossible as there are infinite pathways where design might leads us ;-) Accordingly I’ve been quite happy to discover a great video at the website of Tyler Brule’s latest magazine coup: MONOCLE (via kottke.org). Watch it and see what I envision great Design Managers to lead us …
