This quote from Ken Chenault, American Express Chief Executive, is from the British Design Council’s website. It’s part of a comprehensive and well-argued article on why investment in design is essential in tough times.
Reading the article from an Irish perspective, it’s hard not to be envious of the tax credits on offer from the UK government when investing in design. A similar offer from the Irish Government would put some real muscle behind their aim of creating an “innovation economy”.
Thanks to @smudgedesign for the find.
