EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT


Yale School of Management
New Haven

27 July-1 August 2008

Presented by AIGA and Yale School of Management

After five successful years at Harvard Business School, “Business Perspectives for Creative Leaders” has moved to the Yale School of Management to take advantage of the faculty and facilities at Yale. The 2008 program will be held July 27–August 1.

What happens when the world’s creative leaders come together with Yale’s most influential business experts?

“Business Perspectives for Creative Leaders” draws on the strength of the Yale School of Management experience to help creative leaders discover opportunities within the forces transforming the business social environments. The knowledge gained will enable them to assume the complex task of leading and making a difference in a world where change has become the only constant.

Make powerful connections

A select group of senior-level creative leaders come together to discuss, network, debate and grow with each other. “Business Perspectives for Creative Leaders” is designed exclusively for design executives who work with designers or clients to develop strategic design responses to client challenges. This response may be in the form of a comprehensive communication or positioning strategy, or the design of a range of products or services. Participants are likely to view the design process as an integral part of solving complex problems, whether that experience involves communication, functional or strategic design. This program is particularly beneficial to design professionals who deal with top-level executives and/or larger corporate clients.

Who will participate?

Principals or senior creative leaders in mid- to large-size studios or in-house design departments whose counsel to clients (external or internal) goes beyond the creation of artifacts

Senior managers in advertising, public relations or other firms who retain, hire or work closely with designers

Vice presidents, directors and managers in corporate design or communication departments

See the big picture
