Jill (Re) Designed

Welcome to my thoughts and doings in the world and words where design meets management.

My redesign began in Izmir, Turkey, where the “ironic ladies” turned back towards epistemology,




stopping to gain inspiration from Mary Parker Follett.

If I had a design childhood, it was during my Spring 2008 sabbatical semester – a wonderous time spent in Sarasota, Sweden, and Stonington. I delved into the literature of design and design management, and met my colleagues at the Business & Design Lab at Gothenburg University. For the full story you must read all 200+ posts to my sabbatical blog.

As I transitioned out of my administrative world at the Jack Welch College of Business at Sacred Heart University, I gained inspiration from the Professional Development Workshop on Design Thinking at the 2009 Academy of Management Meeting. That experience was more vibrant and valuable than all my other interactions with the 10,000 or so academics in Chicago for 5 days.
