Design in Business Awards
We’re looking to put the spotlight on New Zealand companies who carry the design in business torch. Are you one of them?
As businesses fight to compete in the global marketplace, survival often depends on those that can learn, develop and change the fastest. Competition from rivals is fierce and there is increasing pressure to compete on innovation and added value.
Internationally, there is growing evidence that companies who strategically use design perform and compete better than their rivals.
By investing in design these businesses are gaining a sustainable competitive advantage, commanding price premiums, gaining market share and increasing exports. In short, these businesses are using design to improve their bottom line.
The aim of the Design in Business Award is to celebrate New Zealand companies who have used and fostered design to develop more competitive products and businesses, and to establish a link between an investment in design and business growth.
So who are New Zealand’s design in business champions?
