Skærpet ledelsesfokus hos DesignIt
14. f 2008 by Ms RixHos en lang række af de større danske designvirksomheder ses en stigende professionalisering af ledelsesfunktionen. I foråret 2007 skete det blandt andet hos Kontrapunkt, hvor de tidligere stiftere trådte i baggrunden til fordel for yngre og mere kommercielle kompetencer.
DesignIt, som er Danmarks største designvirksomhed, har ligeledes valgt at stramme ledelsesfunktionen op, men det er fortsat de tre partnere, som udgør ledelsen. Der er vist heller ikke nogen grund til andet, da DesignIt til trods for deres noget anonyme eksistens, gør det rigtig flot.
David Fellah er CEO for den danske de l af DesignIt, mens Anders Geert-Jensen er CEO for de internationale datterselskaber.
DesignIt er faktisk den eneste designvirksomhed i Danmark, som har evnet at realisere en international strategi. I dag er DesignIt repræsenteret i Danmark (både København og Århus), Tyskland, Frankring og Norge.
Det er flot, da denne ekspantion er realiseret for egen midler. Det kræver en stor investering at skabe denne form for international satsning.
Det bliver interessant at følge DesgnIts udvikling de kommende år, da de ganske givet vil høste frugterne inden længe af deres internationale vågemod.






Der kommer også flere artikler og udgivelser om emnet. Især den amerikanske designvirksomhed
Begrundelsen for denne meget flotte placering er i høj grad hægtet op på IDEOs forretningsmæssig interessante resultater. Et af disse projekter er kampagnen ”
Today poetic design is based on a plethora of complex criteria: human experience, social behaviors, global, economic and political issues, physical and mental interaction, form, vision, and a rigorous understanding and desire for contemporary culture. Manufacturing is based on another collective group of criteria: capital investment, market share, production ease, dissemination, growth, distribution, maintenance, service, performance, quality, ecological issues and sustainability. The combination of these factors shape our objects, inform our forms, our physical space, visual culture and our contemporary human experience. These quantitative constructs shape business, identity, brand and value. This is the business of beauty. Every business should be completely concerned with beauty - it is after all a collective human need.
I believe that we could be living in an entirely different world - one that is full of real contemporary inspiring objects, spaces, places, worlds, spirits and experiences. Design has been the cultural shaper of our world from the start. We have designed systems, cities, and commodities. We have addressed the world’s problems. Now design is not about solving problems, but about a rigorous beautification of our built environments. Design is about the betterment of our lives poetically, aesthetically, experientially, sensorially, and emotionally. My real desire is to see people live in the modus of our time, to participate in the contemporary world, and to release themselves from nostalgia, antiquated traditions, old rituals, kitsch and the meaningless. We should be conscious and attune with this world in this moment. If human nature is to live in the past - to change the world is to change human nature.
