Brian Vogel Consulting - The Business of Design
The Problem - Too often principals of design firms and leaders of corporate design groups
get so deeply involved and busy in the "urgent" day-to-day projects and operations ("wrapped
around the axle") that they don't take the time or effort to think about and do the "important"
things they need to do to take their firm or group to the next level. And, they wonder if they are
ever going to get out from under the growing load.
Sometimes what they need is an external forcing function, like Brian, to help identify and
motivate the required changes in behavior and organization to bring about the desired goals,
to get out from under the urgent and do the important things for their company's future
success.

Urgent or Important?
News - Summer 2010 - Brian Vogel is pleased and honored to announce that he was
named a Fellow of the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) at the recent IDSA
national conference in Portland, OR. Brian was named a Fellow for his elected leadership roles
at IDSA over many years and for his contributions as the Interim Executive Director of IDSA
during summer of 2009. During that assignment Brian interrupted his own consulting practice,
moved to the DC area for 5 months, helped IDSA recover from some operational issues and
personally led the search for his full time replacement, Clive Roux, the current CEO of IDSA.
Brian wishes to thank all those members and staff that supported him over the years and
contributed to this honor.
2009 - Brian spent 4 months in northern Virginia as Interim Executive Director of the Industrial
Designers Society of America (IDSA) where he helped turn the society around and led the
search for the next permanent Executive Director, Clive Roux.
Clive said “Brian provides structure, a steady hand and guidance in chaotic situations. He sees
patterns and priorities where others cannot. It is in his DNA. Brian understands what is
required to get a company headed in the right direction and that experience is invaluable. If
you are growing, in turmoil or just need to understand how to get your organization to the next
level, I would recommend that you call Brian. He WILL help you.”
