Designers are key to enabling Australian companies to transform and compete through the process of design-led innovation. Beyond the development of new products and services, and the creation of graphics and communications, there is an untapped role for designers to work with industry at a strategic level as either 'catalysts' or 'mentors' to embed design-led innovation practices. This chapter examines this opportunity, outlines the capabilities of emerging design roles and considers the potential impact on the broader professional discipline of design.
