How a Chief Design Officer (CDO) builds a successful design strategy.

Where do CDO start and how? Why does a design strategy matter? How can design strategies increase capital efficiency from ideation to product launch?

AI can streamline architectural design and urban planning processes, but also increase chief design officers’ creativity and productivity in both management and design. The architectural and urban design process is somewhat linear, yet there are a TON of opportunities to use AI. Many architects and urban designers are already using this groundbreaking technology in their design processes. A exemplaryexample of leveraging A.I. to solve problems that would take days for an architect, is to analyse the spatial network on many levels without going on site. In the next chapters I will talk about “How Generative-AI (GenAI) can impact the Design and Project Management process.
