The State of Design & Make report is a global, annual study for leaders who design and make places, objects, and experiences. It identifies the most pressing issues shaping today’s businesses and helps leaders make informed, strategic decisions about how to prioritize and invest in the future.
The industries that design and make represent a unique category that connects the digital to the physical. Architecture, engineering, construction, built asset operations, product design, manufacturing, game development, and filmmaking all require complex human collaboration throughout a digital design process and delivery of a physical result. Executives in these industries share their approaches and points of view on the challenges unique to their organizations and the opportunities they are identifying.
Key areas of focus for this research include: a macro view of the industries; staying resilient and relevant in an ever-changing world; attracting, training, and retaining a skilled workforce; and achieving sustainable outcomes.
