Design leadership & Management

Gain influence and strategic impact within your company

Learn how to structure, recruit and develop your teams, and move up to the position of Design Leader with 100% financeable training delivered by recognized experts.

The Design Leadership & Management course exceeded my expectations. The content was rich, concrete, based on real-life experience, and above all specific to the product design environment. The small-group format enabled us to make the most of the experience of our 6 mentors and apply what we learned in real-life situations. I highly recommend it!
