Award Programs

DMI's award program honors excellence in design management.

 

Muriel Cooper Prize

 

Muriel Cooper was a key early member of the Board of Directors of the Design Management Institute (DMI). The prize in her name, created in 1997 by Design Management Institute President Earl Powell, pays tribute to her as co-founder and late director of MIT Media Lab’s Visible Language Workshop, and honors an individual who, like Muriel herself, challenges our understanding and experience of interactive digital communication.

 

With this prize the Institute recognizes outstanding achievement in advancing design, technology and communications in the digital environment.

Design Management Team of the Year

 

The Design Management Institute is proud to announce the establishment of the DMI “Design Management Team of the Year” award. This honor will be granted to design management teams that demonstrate exceptional business practice. This year, the criterion is based on longevity in the field, coupled with relevancy of design work past and present.

 

The 2006 DMI Design Management Team of the Year was introduced at DMI’s 31st International Design Management Conference in Manchester, Vermont. The inaugural award was issued to two leaders in the industry who have succeeded in 80 years of practice: Philips Design and Teague.

Bruce Nussbaum, BusinessWeek’s editorial page editor, has been selected to receive the first DMI John F. Nolan Award.

 

The award honors John F. Nolan who, as president of the Massachusetts College of Art, encouraged the creation of the Design Management Institute and provided it with extensive administrative support including space and staff during its formative years.
