89302 Practice Management and Leadership

6cp
Postgraduate

Design is a collaborative profession that requires high-level interpersonal and entrepreneurial skills. This subject allows designers to acquire some of the management abilities needed to lead a small-to-medium-sized design firm or design department of a large firm. Through case-based learning, designers explore human resources issues, organisational studies, and change management techniques, particularly as they relate to the creative services industries. Scenario-based role-play allows designers to develop a range of negotiation, conflict management and project management capabilities. Throughout the subject, designers learn to reflect on their own their leadership capacities and work styles.
