Strapline: business
by Raymond Turner
Who calls the shots?
Raymond Turner says that design and business need to find new ways of working together
No one would argue with the need for a closer relationship between design and business, but in order for that to happen, they must first understand each other. Although a shared vocabulary is a good starting point, today's management-speak does little to foster an understanding of where business is going. Hand on heart, how many of us really understand the difference between a mission and a vision, a corporate strategy and a business plan, let alone how both should relate to a design strategy?

Do you regret becoming a designer?
Of course, we all love our work, but being a designer sometimes entitles more than we have imagined when choosing this profession.

What is your professional status?
As we are interested in design practice worldwide, we have asked you about your professional status.
It is very interesting to see that most of designers prefer being their own bosses. The percentage of the employed ones and the lucky ones owning their own studios is rather small compared to the number of freelancers. Are designers lone wolves after all, or do we just prefer having our freedom?
What is your professional status?
Freelancer 58%
Employee 21%
Owner/partner of your studio 21%
