d.MBA offers an online business course designed specifically for experienced designers. Their 6-week program teaches relevant business topics while honoring the human-centered approach designers value. Designers learn to speak the language of business, create designs that gain support, and have more impact on strategic decisions.
Over 700 designers from top companies like Amazon, Apple, IBM, and Nike have taken the course. Many felt held back from truly influencing their organizations due to a lack of business knowledge. The d.MBA aims to give designers the “business confidence” to design with more impact.
After graduating, d.MBA members join a lifelong collective for continued learning and networking. Resources on the site include guides, podcasts, and case studies. d.MBA also offers a free 7-day mini course for designers to sample the content.
