PILLARS OF ACTION
Our Global Mandate
The WDBO’s work is driven by four strategic pillars that define our mandate and guide our multi-stakeholder movement.
World Economy of Design
Shape design's economic value.
The Design Power Index (DPI): Measurable indexes, intellectual property benchmarks, financial models on the impact of design, and intersection with capital markets.
Design for Value
Shape economic practice and social impact.
Global ranking and accreditation for design education, preparing future designers for an Age of AI.
Business of Design Resiliency
Assess and enhance the economic valuation of design practices, as well as companies that embrace design.
Business advisory services, establishing the World Design and AI Institute for applied research and development.
Organising for Unity
Create a multi-disciplinary movement that bridges Asian and Western creative companies.
Inaugural World Design Business Forum (WDBF) to bridge capital, design practice, policymakers, as an example of this.
