Design Management includes processes, business decisions and strategies that support innovation and create effectively-designed products, services, communications, environments and brands that improve life quality and provide organizational success. The goal of design management is to establish and maintain an effective business environment in which organizations can fulfill their strategy and mission through design.
Traditionally, this domain found its implementation in the management of product design, but it significantly evolved and today includes various aspects of an organization, including operational and strategic levels. This unique course will have exactly this approach, and through two lectures and two seminars intends to introduce some of the key aspects of design management to the local professional audience.
The experts are Miha Klinar, founder of studios from Ljubljana Gigo Design and KCDM (Competence center for design management), Jovana Tokić, designer and product/design manager professionally active in the Netherlands, as well as members of the Belgrade branch of the renowned company TEAMS Design (Director Žarko Bubalo, Creative Manager Đorđe Vučković, Senior Industrial Designer Nenad Nenadić and Engineering Manager Aleksandar Mikan).
Gigo Design is a multidisciplinary team of designers, programmers and consultants who utilize diverse skills and expertise while working with companies. With over 300 realized projects – from branding and packaging, to design of innovative sailing boats, furniture and cooperations with companies such as Elan, Adria or Slatnar – Gigo is among the most innovative design studios in the region, and beyond.
TEAMS Design is a consulting firm that participated in defining the term that is nowadays known as industrial design. Since 1956, the company was constantly growing in Esslingen, a small town near Stuttgart, and now has more than 100 employees in five studios on three continents, and works with over 300 clients. The studio in Belgrade was founded in 2004 and since then cooperates with other TEAMS offices in the fields of industrial design and engineering. Today it covers the entire product development process – from the initial sketch to prototypes that precede production.
Realization of Design Management course is supported by the Development Agency of Serbia.
Design Management includes processes, business decisions and strategies that support innovation and create effectively-designed products, services, communications, environments and brands that improve life quality and provide organizational success.
On this occasion, the course is designed for designers, entrepreneurs and representatives of micro-enterprises, i.e. those who are willing to upgrade their knowledge in both fields, through lectures and seminars, work with prominent experts from Serbia and Slovenia.
The course represented by Nova Iskra will deal with the place of design management within business systems, process development of “traditional” products, but also challenges and new professions that bring the digital environment and cooperation of creatives and programmers.

Kurs
Irish and Dublin-based artis James Early will join the team od Stanišić Atelier in Sombor for a one-month residency. His work emanates the notion of constructive deconstruction inherit to the artisanry of stained-glass. His work delas with: “wide ranging themes of power, societal imbalances, religion, politics and ultimately, the inhumanity of man. His artworks are a visual meditation and reflection of these themes”.
Through the preparatory stages and conceptualization of this residency stay James and Aleksandra Stanišić established vivid communication and got acquainted with each other’s professional and family history – they both come from a long line of stained-glass makers.
Together they will work on developing a paravane piece influenced and inspired by street art, graphic design, digital art, and heritage objects in Serbia (glass collection from the Museum of Applied Art in Belgrade, street-urban scene, monuments of WWII). The expected result will fuse the digital tools and the hand-made, craft-based execution.
The final piece will be exhibited in the Museum of Applied Art in Belgrade in December 2024.
James Early
James Earley lives and works in Dublin. His artistic practice draws from street art, graphic design and passed down knowledge of stained glass making. His signature is the visual deconstruction of form, carefully constructed in new symmetry and balance. James’s pieces are made through application of digital tools in service of analogue artworks, “he embraces technology to create complex, layered, highly charged compositions”. In 2020 and 2019, he exhibited his work at “VUE, RHA” in Dublin, “Art on Paper” in New York, “Venice Glass Week”, “Seattle Art Fair” and “RHA Annual Exhibition” in Dublin.
