Consultative Design Research skills have become a core competency of a contemporary designer and design organization. For that reason, DMI has tapped one of the field’s pioneers and a leading world authority on the subject to create a Design Research Master Class Series for our global DMI community. Darrel Rhea has been inspiring designers to elevate their careers for many years as instructor of one of DMI’s most popular and highest-rated seminars, “Design Research for Product & Service Innovation.” He has updated his seminar as the first offering in DMI’s new Master Class Series, which will provide you with the perspective you need to raise the level of your contribution in your organization, and the skills to interact with, participate and manage Design Research.
