Module C
Design Development, Creativity & Business Development
3 Days
This module offers you the opportunity to get away from the business for a short period and consider how to creatively develop new projects, products and services.
This is then linked to the critical challenge for designers of “business development”, or how to sell to clients, both current and new.
An exciting and fun interactive three days combining development and interactivity with your design community.
Learning Outcomes
As a result of this module, delegates will enhance their skills in the creative thought process and design conceptualisation.
The skills required to realise design concepts and in the processes involved when transferring creative concepts from design to production to end user delivery will be examined, honed and enhanced.
The second half of the three days will enable delegates to take away skills in business development and selling.
The ability to convert excellent design practice into new client business and increase business from existing clients will be gained.
Skills will be developed in understanding client needs, presenting the pitch and closing for the business.
