Our client NLISIS (pronounced Analysis) has won both a Design Management Europe Award and a Dutch Design Award last week. With the DME award NLISIS was recognised for their outstanding use of design management for a start up company. Zilver had the honour to both develop the NLISIS brand and their design strategy right form the start.

With the Dutch Design Award NLISIS was honoured for their best practice in applying, outsourcing and managing design as a strategic asset to their company. The 8 person start up beat giants like TNT post and Hema, inspiring the jury to call the case a ‘best practice example for all companies, large or small’.

Here’s an article on the NLISIS case you can download. It was written by Marc Vlemmings for Capitalogue, the city of Eindhoven’s Design Magazine.
Here’s the poster entry for the Design Management Europe award we made for NLISIS. By the way, all the winners’ posters can be viewed here. A great resource on the state of the art of design management in europe!
