What is the Value of Design?

The British Design Council has found that every £1 spent on design gives you over £20 in increased revenue, £4 increased profit and £5 in increased exports. A very nice and handy statistic to be liberally used in your next discussion with a business leader or decision maker.

The Design Council has been working with the Arts & Humanities Research Council to measure the value that design thinking brings to small businesses.
What we found is that design thinking does so much more than just make products look nicer or work better, it improves the way a business operates.
Our research found that not only can design thinking increase the range of products a business develops, but it can also lead to more inspiring workplaces, happier staff, better service and, as a result, greater customer satisfaction.
