Still working my way through interesting links I saved from the IA Institute members mailing list. Livia Labate posted this link to the “Value of Design” factfinder, a site that communicates the value of design to business.
The site includes an interesting “Your Report” tool that enables you to cut and paste interesting tidbits and research findings into a custom report you can then use in your own materials (as long as you credit the Design Council).
The “headline facts” section of the site, for example, presents research findings (“Rapidly growing business are three times more likely than the rest to consider design crucial to success”) in a visually compelling fashion.
