🚀 Empowering the next wave of design leaders!
Middle managers are the bridge between big-picture strategy and day-to-day ex*****on. Strengthening this layer is key to building stronger organisations and a more resilient design sector.

That is why programmes like the Future Leaders Fellowship (FLF), organised by Design Business Chamber Singapore (DBCS), supported by DesignSingapore, with Consulus as Global Knowledge Partner, play an important role in developing the next generation of design leaders.

Our first cohort has successfully completed the programme, and we’re now opening registration of interest for Cohort 2, starting in Q2 2027! 🚀
Ready to strengthen your leadership capabilities, broaden your perspective and lead with greater impact?

👉 Register your interest: https://futureleaders.dbcsingapore.org/registration/

Here’s to building stronger capabilities, from the middle out! 💡✨
