Design Leadership Excellence
The DBA has partnered with PARK Academy to bring you the Design Leadership Excellence programme.
PARK is where design and business come together for better leadership, better business and a brighter future for all. Since 1998, they have been building and scaling design capabilities for organisations and people to create a better tomorrow.
This is the first PARK Academy Programme conducted in partnership with the DBA. First piloted at LEGO in 2013, PARK Academy is a world leader in design management and leadership training, offering a range of programmes, expert tutors and a dedicated learning platform. They have scaled the Academy for cross-company delivery with nine national design councils and have developed bespoke in-company programmes for clients including Bosch, Unilever and Haleon.
The Design Leadership Excellence programme combines 3 critical modules to help you sharpen and elevate your impact as a Design Leader:
- Design Leadership Deeply understand the why, what and how of the Design Leaders role.
