Abstract
Abstract--Recognising the growing importance of design at a
national level, this paper reports on the development of a suite
of measures relating to national design performance. These
measures are based around a simplified model of design as a
system at a national level, developed through a workshop with
government, industry and design sector representatives.
Detailed data on design in the UK is presented to highlight the
difficulties in collecting reliable and robust data. Evidence is
compared with four countries (Spain, Canada, South Korea and
Sweden). This comparison highlights the inherent difficulties in
comparing performance and a revised set of measures is
proposed.
