The 21st century economy eschews the post-WWII lessons of management—producing things cheaper, faster, and better is no longer enough.
Today’s leaders must exhibit flexibility and a capacity for innovation in a complex global economy characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and rapidly evolving social norms. Academically rigorous and industry focused, the MS in Strategic Design and Management prepares students to confidently create, manage, and lead organizations through Design Thinking. The program can be taken online or on-campus, bringing together a diverse group of students aspiring to leadership roles in emerging and traditional fields. The program will appeal to business professionals wishing to complement their expertise with design capabilities, design practitioners seeking business networks and leadership training, and entrepreneurs interested in developing new service, leadership, and managerial models for the evolving new economy.
