Handbook

This course introduces you to the many opportunities for leadership through design-led theory and practice within interdisciplinary team contexts. Through a series of theoretical and practical explorations, you are asked to analyse and reflect upon the nature of interdisciplinary teams including team structures, project phases and management, and collaboration methodologies. The coursework places a specific focus on the power of design leadership in interdisciplinary projects in fields and disciplines outside of design. You will then be asked to implement your knowledge in team contexts, where you will collaborate to solve a prescribed brief. You will experience multiple roles within the project team structure, and will be asked to test, analyse, and reflect upon different team dynamics, management strategies, and collaboration strategies through a design-led lens.
