What’s the biggest challenge holding design back as a key business strategy? Is “design thinking” a term we should use to explain the power of design to the C-suite?

The biggest thing holding design back as a key business strategy has nothing to do with "strategy" or "design." |

The biggest challenge for the profession is meeting the demand for Design leadership that is currently in play. |

Is it true that design is being held back as a key business strategy? I don’t think so. |

Question: Do ROI pressures put a damper on innovation? Do they kill good ideas? How best should the industry address the issue of effectiveness of design?

ROI pressure does not kill good ideas; in fact it creates the opportunity for brand owners and their agencies to develop bigger and better ideas. |

No – and they shouldn’t (put a damper on innovation). This basically comes down to a question of mindset. |

The last few years have not been ideal for those keen to develop bold, new innovation projects. |

Question: Is the use of white in packaging overused? Is it still possible to use white as an equity color?
Philip VanDusen
 |
White is a double edged sword. Overall, white communicates purity and simplicity. It catches the eye and shines a light on whatever color or image is in proximity. |

There is nothing inherently wrong with the use of white, but unfortunately of late we have seen an increase of it being utilized in poorly executed design programs, especially in retail/own brand packaging. |

The current trend is to create packaging that is simple, straightforward and instantly engages consumers with the facts and an overall brand promise. |
