In November 2019, Pieter van Langen (founder and owner of Design Impulse) has become a member of Ooa. Through this membership, Design Impulse likes to express that customers can always count on knowledgeable, professional, and challenging advice.

Dutch management consulting firm Design Impulse has started to offer design capabilities consulting services. This post summarizes what we do, why, and how.

Background

Organizations act in a complex world to achieve goals. The successful ones are empathetic, imaginative, and creative. More often than not, design drives the results of these enterprises, companies, and institutions.

By investing in design, success can show itself in several ways; for instance:

• Revenues and profit. Design-driven companies generate 20 times more revenues, 4 times more profit, and 5 times more export (Design Council, 2018).
• Return on value. Design-driven companies produce a return twice as much as the Standard & Poor’s 500 index (Design Management Institute, 2015).
• Organizational performance. Design-driven companies grow twice as fast as the benchmark (McKinsey, 2018).

Launch Design Impulse

These insights led scientist and expert Pieter van Langen to launch Design Impulse. We are an independent Dutch management consulting firm specializing in design capabilities consulting. Contact us to develop a strong design team and accelerate results.
