NextDesign Leadership Institute

"NextDesign Leadership Institute was created as an experiment in innovation acceleration. We wondered if it might be possible for a small team of practicing designers to help speed the rate of adaptation, by graduate design education, to the radical events unfolding at the leading edge of the marketplace, that are impacting design leadership today. We optimistically guessed that it might be possible and if it wasn’t, finding out seemed like interesting research! To undertake that experiment, we created the NextD initiative and the NextDesign Leadership Institute."

International Institute for Information Design (IIID)

"The main concern of the International Institute for Information Design ( IIID ) is to contribute to a better understanding within the human community with respect to cultural and economic issues by means of improved visual communication. Special attention is paid to the potential of graphic information design to overcome both social and language barriers. IIID endeavours to develop information design as an independent interdisciplinary field of knowledge and professional activities, to document and to make generally accessible specifically relevant information, to do research within its possibilities and in co-operation with its members and to find new ways of educating information designers."
