Of all the professions, designers have the potential to make the most valuable contribution to business success.

Gorb is a Life Fellow of the Design Management Institute and a pioneer in design management education. He has served as the Director of the London Business School's Centre for Design Management. He is currently a Visiting Professor at Westminster University and an advisor to its MBA program in Design Management.
