TO CREATE A NATIONAL DESIGN policy in the US would require a strategy for involving US policy makers committed to its establishment. This is no easy task. Existing government agencies can be skeptical and protective of their turf, the conflicting goals of specialinterests can doom even the most noble of ideas, and the legislative process can take years of lobbying and debate. Based on valuable design‐policy‐making experience, Randy McAusland offers his recommendations for establishing an enduring American profile for design.
