Message
from the Chairman | The 21st century leaders are visionaries
and positive change makers that could influence and effect change, and
create values through the best utilization of resources. With professional
and business development opportunity opening up in China and Asia, Hong
Kong continues to play a strategic role in influencing and shaping developments
through design and innovation. Design is undoubtedly part of the fabric
of society, economy and culture. The more widespread design thinking is
infusing into visioning, strategizing, inter-disciplinary planning and
execution, the greater is the ability to draw inspirations and effect
partnerships from across fields, and the greater the value and impact
of delivery will be.
With the support of Create Hong Kong (Create HK), HKSAR
Government, the “InnoStar - InnoDesign Leadership programme” piloted by
Hong Kong Design Centre (HKDC) aims to nurture future leaders and deepen
their perspectives and horizons as they advance their entrepreneurial
endeavours or careers. The new competencies will be expected to be a game
changer for business design in Hong Kong more than ever. In the new economy
of choice, there is an urgent need to move away from a manufacturing mind-set
to a shaping strategy at a macro level. The designerly approach of quality
programmes in executive design education bridges an enormous market gap
for practicing professionals to enhance and enrich their learning with
a constantly evolving curriculum. As an insurmountable challenge, a part-time
intensive and small-size class learning mode will encourage close interaction
with in-built flexibility based on the learner’s needs. Prominent design
academics, global industry experts and advocates will share their wisdom,
knowledge and insights through lectures within theoretical frameworks
and interactive workshops. Experienced strategic users of design and practitioners
in design management and design education could join the programme in
a structured manner and/or on individual module basis.
Learning is a life-long journey. We welcome you to this
groundbreaking and world class executive education programme in Innovation
and Design Management!

in Asia, faces an increasing lack of quality design management programmes
in continuing design education for executives. By turning this enormous
market gap into an opportunity, a part-time modular learning platform

market trend and meet professional needs. This groundbreaking learning
model offers a unique opportunity of sharing for Strategic Users of Design,
Design Management and Design Practitioners. The combination of best practices
/ methods in design knowledge and enrichment knowledge constitutes the
state-of-the-art programme content. The constantly evolving curriculum,
global industry experts, prominent academics together with top quality
learners will present a unique learning experience. |
