Did BusinessWeek Snub, or Forget Some of the top D & B-Schools in the World?

Nicolae • 07 October 2009 • 01 IN THE NEWS, 03 INNOVATION

Last month, in preparation for the launch of the DTX-blog, I comprised a variety of lists, including one, on the top b&d-schools and institutions in the world. I was completely shocked to see that BusinessWeek’s list of the best design and business schools left out a considerable number of schools, that in my opinion, not only belong on the list, but some of them are among the top ten institutions in the world. Here are four that did not make the list.

  1. Eindhoven Academy in Holland, considered by many the top design school in the world today.
  2. Institute without Boundaries, George Brown University, Toronto, Canada. Led by Bruce Mau, one of the greatest design thinkers alive.
  3. Hasso Plattner Design Thinking Institute, Potsdam, Germany. The parent or sister Institution of  Stanford’s d-school.
  4. Zollverein, Essen, Germany. A brand new school, dedicated 100% to the Intersection of Design & Business.

I am sure it was an oversight, but I think, by now there is enough of a DT enlightened audience to encourage  BW to move towards a much more in-depth, critical, mature and diverse coverage of Design Thinking.
