Design Project Support – Generate

Our free Generate Programme is for small and medium size businesses (SMEs) and does exactly what its name implies: it helps you to generate more business, more profit and more investment. It's an incredible opportunity for any business. We can help with a wide range of design projects, which are usually completed within 3-6 months.

Throughout the project you will receive free expert advice and support from our highly qualified design advisers. Every one of our Design Council approved experts has been selected for their outstanding track record solving business problems for global brands, from Virgin Atlantic, to BT.

The role of the design adviser is to help you explore potential design opportunities and choose one project to follow through. They will work with you to identify the most appropriate and beneficial project, help you scope an effective design brief, give advice on selecting the right design agency and support you with design management throughout the life of the project – making sure your project stays on track.

With the help of our design advisers you will discover how your business can become more innovative, more competitive and more profitable through the use of good design. This high-level expert support will increase your knowledge of design, helping you to spot opportunities and giving you the skills to drive projects forward.

Our support comes through a mixture of workshops and direct support, and is provided free of charge. The only direct cost is design consultancy fees, with many businesses seeing substantial returns on design investment.

As your project develops, so will your skills. Participating in the Generate programme will provide your company with the skills required to complete future design projects and measure the value of your investment in design. Support from senior managers and board members, from the outset, will ensure you get the full benefit of our support and advice.
