On 10th March 2022 , we launched the report, "Artists, Designers & Business in Cross-Sector Collaboration"
This new report raises awareness of the immense potential of cross-sector collaboration between artists, designers, and the corporate sector.
Effective collaboration between these sectors is important now and in the future. Companies face challenges in a world of increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA), and they must overcome these challenges to survive and thrive. They need to be equipped and prepared with the skills and capability to do this. Cross-sector collaboration between artists, designers and the corporate world could, if formalised, professionalised, and orchestrated answer to the needs and problems in these areas.
After the pandemic, business model innovation is needed more than ever in the culture & creative sectors and especially for the different art disciplines.
The report makes seventeen recommendations that can help to engineer changes in how cross-sector collaboration in these sectors is approached and practised.
If you are a policy maker, change agent, responsible for driving innovation in your organisation, or a culture & creative sector professional then this report will be of interest to you.

We’d really like to hear your thoughts on the role of artists & designers in corporate innovation.
The results will help to develop a better understanding of the opportunities for cross-sectoral collaboration and the role of artists & designers in the corporate innovation process. The survey will only take around 2 minutes of your time and results will be shared with participants.
