In 2005 a group of design centres, cities
and universities found each other in the
development of a project for the future of
Europe. For its economy, its citizens, its
culture. ADMIRE – an Award for Design
Management Innovating and Reinforcing
Enterprises, would honour organisations
that knew to innovate and reinforce by
the strategic use of the inventiveness and
creativity of design.
During the last two years huge steps
have been made by the vast network of
partners involving Europe’s businesses and
organisations. There has been thorough
research so that the competition launched
under the brand name Design Management
Europe has grown into a sustainable and
proven scheme. Two editions have run these
last two years closely followed by a wide
audience across Europe. Because ADMIRE
is not only about an award.
Whilst DME candidates claim to learn
from describing their best practice, they
disclose valuable information from their
organisations.Strategies,policiesandwaysof
working that will inspire and support many
more European organisations to improve
and reinforce learning from these best
practices. For this reason the partnership
has organised in the last two years numerous
workshops and congresses to disseminate
new and unique insights, also welcomed by
Universities, policy makers and media that
work in the field of design management.
And then it is not only about economic
opportunities but about social innovation
and cultural enrichment as well. The DME
agenda that is being developed, of which
the DME Award is part of, comprises a
range of activities that further disseminate
the knowledge acquired in ADMIRE
and generates new and innovative ideas
resulting from collaboration between
businesses, authorities, knowledge
institutes and citizens.
I would like to congratulate on behalf of all
of the DME network partners the City of
Cardiff with this successful edition of the
DME Award 2008 put on stage during the
Cardiff Design Festival. Of course we wish
to meet you all next year in Eindhoven when
the DME Award 2009 will take stage during
Dutch Design Week.

Design matters for innovation and so
does design management. Whereas
design is mainly driven by creativity and
imagination, it requires sound innovation
management to turn ideas into new
products and to bring them successfully
to the market. Innovation requires both
intuition and entrepreneurial spirit.
Not so long ago, research and technological
development were considered as the main
drivers of innovation. We now know that
innovation has much more facets than that
and design is among the most important.
This may also require new policy
approaches in order to support innovation
more effectively.
The DME Award represents a great
opportunity to showcase excellence in
design management practices. Novelist
Herman Melville once said that it is better to
failinoriginalitythantosucceedinimitation.
I would add that there is always scope for
learning from the best and for learning from
each other, while being original.
There is nothing like “best practice”.
Everything still can be improved. But it is no
shame to look at what works currently best.
Not to copy but not to fall behind what has
already been successfully implemented by
others. Less than improving on the best is
not good enough.

The 2008 DME Award presented the
sponsors, organisers and Jury with a
unique opportunity to examine in detail
the management of design within a
range of some of the most innovative
companies and organisations in Europe.
This was the first time the poster
presentation format had been used to
present the work of individual companies.
It facilitated an open and transparent
mechanism allowing companies to
effectively communicate their individual
approach to integrating design within their
business models.
With over 100 companies and organisations
represented, this in-depth display of
management practices has extended
our understanding of how successful
manufacturing, service and even public
sector organisations across Europe manage
design. The value of this award cannot be
underestimated as it provides a focal point
to further develop design management
as a discipline in Europe by confirming
the key part design can play in economic
development.
The review of entries in poster form
presented different processes, cultures,
strategies and even new business models.
It was clear that companies with well
defined design management strategies in
place also had effective product service
development processes that resulted in high
quality products and a strong position in
the market. Only through further analysis,
research and dissemination can we address
the discrepancies across sectors and raise
the standard of design management. Europe
has some of the best designers and managers
in the world, but they need new skills,
insights and strategies to fully exploit the
true potential of design management.
The production of this book of winners
and the travelling exhibition will provide a
powerful ‘educational’ tool to illustrate the
benefits of strategic use of design to a broad
target audience that will include: managers,
directors, designers, design support agents,
public administrators, policy makers and
researchers. In this book of winners we
have deliberately avoided comment on the
posters to allow readers to interpret the
information for themselves to explore how
these examples of best practice might be
applied within their own organisations.
We have through this year’s DME Awards
establishedahighqualitythresholdforfuture
awards. I would therefore like to thank all
the partners, sponsors and agents who have
supported our novel approach and without
whose support the successful delivery would
not have been possible.

JUDGING DESIGN MANAGEMENT
How do you award an activity that is
unique to each business and which
cannot be quantified without eliminating
the essence of that activity? This was the
challenge we faced when planning for the
2008 DME Award. It quickly became clear
that the challenge was twofold: What
kind of information should be gathered
from the companies? How should this
data then be assessed?
A review of other management awards
showed that they all had something in
common, and that was the requirement
for the entrants to openly express why they
shouldwinanaward.Whetheritwasthrough
an essay, recommendation, presentation or
interview, the need to state an individual’s
case is facilitated in many such management
awards. With a European dimension to the
DME Award and the huge potential range
of the subject matter, a format needed to
be identified that could facilitate each case
and provide a level playing field. The poster
format appeared to be an excellent solution,
not only did it prove a successful medium in
the 2007 DME Award, but it also allowed
for companies to easily communicate their
unique practices through the aid of pictures
and simple text.
With one issue resolved, i.e. how to gather
the information, the rest of the judging
process was still to be determined. What
would the companies include in their
poster? What would they say about their
design management practice? And, what
could we expect from entries ranging
from micro-businesses to large public
organisations?
These questions turned attention to the
development of the assessment criteria.
Because of the bespoke nature of design
management, and the need to understand
what truly represents best practice, the
only transparent and fair method to
select winners appeared to be through a
Jury process. Therefore, criteria had to
be developed to allow the Jury to arrive
at their judgements, and to provide a
focus for the entrants in developing their
applications. The best way to set criteria
for a design management award was to
get professional and academic experts in
design management to discuss and agree
upon what qualities would be expected in a
DME Award winner. In addition, this open
approach to setting criteria would promote
transparency, gain endorsement and build
the credibility of the award.
On 21st February 2008, a small panel
of leading design management experts
met at the National Centre for Product
Design & Development Research (PDR)
the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff
(UWIC). Chaired by Professor Alan Lewis,
theyweresetthetaskofdeterminingcriteria
for the DME Award that could be applied
across all sectors, sizes, EU countries, and
to both public and private organisations.
The meeting proved highly stimulating,
providing the panel with the opportunity to
consider the issue of determining criteria
to assess the widest range of organisations.
Within the first two hours of the meeting,
the basis for the criteria was agreed. The
discussion then rapidly developed into a
focused effort to draft the final wording for
each criterion. The criteria were finalised
by mid afternoon. On top of being such a
rewarding achievement, the fact that these
recognised experts all agreed to the form
and content of the criteria in such a short
time reinforced the conviction that the
approach we were taking with this award
was the right one. This encouraged us to
feel that we were doing the right thing. The
panel felt that those companies who place
a strategic advantage on design would be
able to identify with the criteria and react
positively to the challenge of submitting for
the DME Award.
The criteria agreed by the panel of experts
were as follows:
LEADERSHIP IN DESIGN INNOVATION
Defining and implementing a vision for the
whole organisation.
DRIVING CHANGE THROUGH DESIGN
Identifying significant changes within an
organisation where design has played a
major role.
EXCELLENCE IN DESIGN CO-ORDINATION
Demonstrating capabilities, processes, skills
and resources.
STRATEGIC PERFORMANCE
Demonstrating performance based on
objectives, deliverables and results
(tangible and intangibles).
A set of guidelines could then be
developed, encompassing the award
criteria, description of categories as well as
the award deadlines.
The 2008 DME Award was launched on
March, 12th at the remarkable National
Senedd building in Cardiff Bay.

It was two weeks before the Jury day when
the first of the posters arrived to us. It was
from an Austrian company and, to our
relief, it was clearly addressing the criteria,
in a meaningful way that was placing a
strong emphasis not only on design, but
essentially on its management processes.
As more posters were received it confirmed
that entrants had indeed understood the
criteria and the nature of the DME Award.
Moreover, in some enclosed letters CEOs
had expressed the benefit they gained from
the poster exercise, as it made them think
about their processes and design strategy in
order to formulate them in a formal sense
for the first time.
A key facilitating element of the DME
Award was the DME network of partners
and agents across Europe. One of the
roles of this network was to nominate and
facilitate entrants from their countries
to enter the award. Through bringing
their own expertise to bear they made the
criteria comprehensible to the entrants and
helped them realise their applications. The
process was also helpful to the partners
through developing their experience of
good practice.
The majority of entrant’s posters arrived
rolled in poster tubes or were printed onto
foamex boards. There were two exceptional
cases where the entry poster was printed
onto a dedicated stone laminate worktop
surface and another printed onto 2mm
aluminium sheet with hinged panels
to facilitate more space. For this, we
congratulate the companies for their lateral
interpretation of the brief and for their
innovative solutions.

DME AWARD JURY
The DME Award Jury was selected to
represent a variety of business and design
management experience and expertise
from across Europe and beyond.
All of the Jury members were nominated
by partners and went through a rigorous
selection process before being approved.
All of the DME Award Jury members were
first choice selections. It is their expertise
in business, management and design that
adds the real value to the DME Award. As
the host; our task was to facilitate the Jury
process as effectively as possible.
Jury members were divided into two groups
of four and charged with judging one
category at a time per group. These groups
were rearranged for each judging session and
with regard to the specific expertise of the
Jury members. At the start of each category
judging session, the moderator would
agree the session plan with the Jury and
ask whether there was a conflict of interest
between any member of the Jury and the list
of entrants in the category to be judged.
The judging sessions started with the Jury
members being provided with scorecards
to assist them in evaluating the entries
according to the set criteria. The marks
they recorded were not intended to be
definitive results, but rather were designed
to assist the jury in arriving at a working
shortlist for further debate. The Jury panel
for each session was empowered to decide
on the number of honourable mentions to
be granted.
The moderators played a crucial role in
focusing the debate on design management
and in delivering each session on time, yet
also allowing the Jury members to freely
express their opinions.
“In the categories in which I was involved
in moderating, the judges were very quickly
able to identify those entries that not only
described the benefits of their product or
service, but which attempted to communicate
their design management philosophy and
process. This was particularly effective where
this was set against clear business objectives
and where achievements against those
objectives were communicated. Where a
company only provided visuals and a written
description of a product line or a new product,
it was much more difficult for the panel to
make judgements about the quality of design
management. Nonetheless, it was encouraging
to see that for some small companies, design

management is indeed perceived as a driver
for the business and that design is carefully
considered at as many different levels of the
business as possible, from customer-insight
to product concept; from brand and identity
to packaging and point of sale, and from
tone of copy-writing to the pricing structure.”
Michael Thomson - Moderator
In the category ‘Design strategy for
sustainability’, Dr Frank O’Connor of the
EcoDesign Centre of Wales was present to
advise the jury on the sustainability merits
of each of the entries and to guard against a
DME Award from being awarded to an entry
that did not address the sustainability issue.
However he did not have a voting role in the
jury. In light of the fact that there were only
seven entries in this category, the jury took
the decision to lower the number of prizes
in order to maintain the standards of the
award at the highest level.
For each category, the moderator completed
a form to record the decisions of the jury
and any comment specific to the issues
they addressed. These reports, as well as the
proceedings of the jury day, have all been
detailed in the 2008 DME Award Jury report
which can be accessed from:
www.designmanagementeurope.com
On consultation with the Jury team and the
DME partners who were present that day a
number of key recommendations were made
for consideration in future DME Awards.
It was a unanimous agreement that the
poster format should be continued as it
proved an effective medium for the jury
to work with. Crucially, it allows them to
discuss and evaluate the merits of each
application in an open forum. Given the
importance of the posters, the Jury felt that
further guidance should be given to potential
entrants on how to prepare and structure
their entries. They need to be prompted
with direct questions such as ‘What was the
strategic reason? What were the results and
successes?’ Furthermore, future entrants
should be encouraged to explain their
business objectives and to show evidence
of the impact of design management,
supporting their claims with figures. Public
and non-profit organisations, should be
invited to describe the social impact design
management has had, i.e. what has this done
to contribute towards public service?
This book, together with the DME website
and the 2008 DME Award travelling
exhibition will provide prospective entrants
with more information and ideas on how to
prepare their applications.
The criteria marking process utilised by
the 2008 Jury proved itself through the
consistency of the scores given by each of
member of the jury. Furthermore, the final
decision of the Jury, which was arrived at
through detailed discussion, was consistent
with their initial scores, thus reinforcing
the validity of the criteria. However, the
Jury members regretted that not all of the
companies followed application guidelines,
nor demonstrated evidence of the criteria.
Developing this process to evaluate design
management practice across Europe
could not have been achieved without the
people who understood the nature of the
subject and the importance of the DME
Award. With a transparent process and
valid criteria, the DME Award represents
a reliable instrument which provides an
annual review of Design Management
in Europe. The material submitted by
the entrants represents a view of Design
Management practices that is both broad
in scope and detailed in substance.
Analysis and further research of the entries
can also provide a wealth of information
and further insight into this branch of
management science for the benefit
of managers, directors, policy makers,
consultants, researchers and students.
However, such ambitions will not be
possible without the collaboration of the
partners and agents to build the recognition
and prestige of the award. Their knowledge
andexpertisetoconsultpotentialapplicants
is vital for the award to grow.
In its second edition, the DME Award has
gained maturity and has demonstrated
its potential to positively encourage and
facilitate the adoption of leading design
management practices. The challenge for
the hosts of the 2009 DME Award will be
to harness this potential and build on the
work of the previous two years.
