LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT
OVERVIEW
The Design Firm Leadership and Management Certificate Program is a year-long, case study-based course structured to help designers acquire the skills needed to move into leadership positions in large and mid-size design firms, or to manage their own practices more effectively. The curriculum focuses on concepts relating to managment, leadership, and vision and engages experts from a range of design disciplines.
This program is intended for professionals with at least four years of experience. The ideal candidates work in creative and innovative organizations in disciplines such as architecture, construction, engineering, interiors, graphics, landscape architecture, industrial design, or software architecture. Others who benefit from this program include principals and owners who want to lead their firms more effectively, and managers of in-house design or architecture departments who need the tools to manage for increased results.
