Background
Commissioned by Creative Scotland and led by V&A Dundee, Design for Scotland explores how to develop a strategic and focused approach to supporting design nationally.
We were appointed to lead the research project, engage with the sector and produce recommendations for making change happen.
Approach
Together, we conducted research to understand how the design sector looks today, and facilitated a cross-disciplinary group to develop a future vision.
Then, drawing upon international examples of national design strategy, and the priorities of our sector participants, we generated a set of recommendations for Scotland to develop a collaborative leadership model, and unlock the full value of design to address societal challenges.
Impact
Co-created with 189 sector representatives, and aligned with key stakeholders.
A strategy to enable the sector to realise its vision, collaboratively developed and evidence-backed.
Buy-in from key stakeholders, and enthusiasm from sector participants to continue to drive the project forward.
