Overview: The purpose of this paper is to initiate a constructive dialogue among design educators and practitioners on closing the gap between classroom and cubicle. A model is recommended for preparing students for the competencies and problems central to practice, organized around four topics: culture, leadership, strategy, and innovation. The goal is to improve upon current offerings for students in increasing their potential for influence in dynamic, cross-disciplinary contexts. Signs suggest the design profession moving towards becoming an integrative business process, from merely an industrial asset; the proposed model should prepare young designers for this transition.
