Strategic Value of Design Thinking | Transitioning to a Design-Driven Culture

In one of my previous posts, I talked about various company cultures:

  1. Engineering-Driven
  2. Data-Driven
  3. Design-Driven
  4. Sales-Driven

Some examples of Design-Driven companies are Apple, Airbnb, Square, and Snapchat.

Design Management Institute created a Design Value Index (DVI) and compared the stock market performance of design-driven companies against the S&P 500 index. The results speak for themselves.

This data is a strong validation of the strategic value of design in today’s competitive landscape. It is no longer only about aesthetics; it’s the driving force behind business success.

Transitioning into a design-driven company culture requires a systematic approach. Some of the key pointers:

  • Leadership Buy-In
  • Design Leadership Establishment & Design Culture Cultivation
  • Design Thinking Training
  • User-Centric Mindset & Iterative Prototyping
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

Transitioning to a design-driven culture requires a collective commitment from the entire organization, driven by leadership to integrate into all aspects of the business.
