Association for
Our Mission
The ADM is a cross industry group committed to:
- Building the Design Management community – whatever your role, organization or title, if you manage design, this is your home.
- Raising Standards – we are working with BSi and other groups in the design and construction industries to establish a code of practice and a UK wide accreditation scheme for design management.
- Creating Alignment – establishing an industry wide definition of key activities that characterise ‘management of design’ at each project stage.
- Establishing Thought Leadership – support the design management community by organising live in-person and on-line events where members can showcase best practice, share ideas, debate, network and contribute to the advancement of design management across all project levels within the industry.
Who is the ADM for?
The ADM is for anyone managing design at any stage or field. We recognise that management of design across different project stages comes in many guises, roles and role titles. However, experience and knowledge shared across the industry also demonstrates that there are specific focus areas relevant to each design stage and best design management practices that are shared across all individuals overseeing and managing design, regardless of their title and discipline.
Currently the ADM is looking to establish an industry wide community where members can participate in workshops, consultation sessions, conferences and other activities that will help shape a clearer definition of design management and raise the profile of this very important role within the design and construction industries.
