DesignIntelligence is the Design Futures Council’s bi-monthly report on the future, delivering original research, insightful commentary, and instructive best practices. Design leaders rely on DesignIntelligence to deliver insight about emerging trends and management practices, allowing them to make their organization a better managed, more financially successful enterprise.
Original research includes highly anticipated surveys:
- Compensation and benefits

In addition, issues contain groundbreaking reports on financial management strategies, best practice case studies, fees, profitability, ownership transition, communications planning, strategic change, achieving competitive fitness, and much more.
DesignIntelligence is independent of any one profession or professional organization. The carefully researched information often provides competitive advantage before it is otherwise commonly known and understood in the marketplace. The annual listings of major trends and forecasts offer more biting commentary than is otherwise available.
