Designing Demand is a business development programme run by the Design Council. It is government backed and part of the Solutions for Business portfolio. It is a programme that uses design to help businesses unlock their ambition for growth, boost performance, and improve the bottom line. It does this by putting design at the centre of business strategy and giving managers the skills to exploit design by spotting opportunities, briefing designers and running design projects that deliver.
The Design Council is in the process of identifying manufacturing SMEs interested in taking part in the next programme which begins in September this year.
The call for applications opens on 5 September but any company wishing to register their interest can do so now by visiting the Design Council website.
