The Growth Drivers Score a Well-Deserved High-Five at The Australian Good Design Awards
TGD has been selected as the winner of the 2021 Design Institute of Australia Award!
The Design Institute of Australia Award recognises an Australian professional designer, design team or design company who has made a significant impact in the Australian Good Design Awards over the year. This Award was established by Good Design Australia and the Design Institute of Australia to recognise the role of professional design in projects submitted to the Australian Good Design Awards program.
“Congratulations to the team at The Growth Drivers and their clients for the incredible work submitted to this year’s Australian Good Design Awards. These Award-winning projects reflect the best of your diverse design talents in user-focussed, collaborative and impact-centred design. To also be recognised with the Design Institute of Australia Award, reaffirms your team’s passion and commitment to driving positive change through professional design. Well done.” — Dr Brandon Gien, CEO, Good Design Australia
Good Design Awards celebrate innovative design projects from around the world in all areas of design, architecture, engineering, research and social innovation. TGD, working with clients including NSW Department of Primary Industries, Dairy Australia, Hort Innovation, Australian Mushroom Growers Association, and the University of Newcastle, were recognised for their innovative design impact across the categories of Service Design, Social Impact, Design Strategy and Next Gen: Product Design.
“We are on a journey to build a highly recognisable company that does things differently - and DIA's recognition by way of this award serves to fuel our mission.” said Dr Scott Needham, Managing Director of TGD. “We are fortunate to have an ever-expanding group of inspired and passionate employees who aren’t satisfied by ‘just’ delivering reports, but are absolutely committed to working with our clients to help them achieve their ‘growth’.
Being recognised by the Good Design Awards for five projects, two of which were awarded Gold, is confirmation of the meaningful impact and enduring value that TGD help their clients achieve every day.
“The Good Design Awards are the preeminent awards for recognising design excellence. I'm really proud of our team and the work we have done with these incredible clients and partners.”
“That we deeply care about making an impact by delivering a result, not just writing an interesting strategy and moving on to the next project is what makes us different; our clients’ problem becomes our problems, and we work hard to deliver a result that helps them achieve the growth they are after. We bring talent, capability and passion together to work together on clients’ causes.” — Dr Scott Needham, Managing director, TGD
