NewNorth Today
NewNorth Center for Design in Business is the region’s leading innovation training resource. We exist to realize the continual potential of Michigan’s future through innovation.
We are a non-profit, hybrid education and business institution, with a focus on innovation and human-centered design. We created catalysts for change through custom workshops, “unconsulting,” and our 30-week Innovation Methods Certification journey. Our portfolio features design-centric, post-graduate business programs formulated expressly to bring increased value to local, regional and national companies and organizations. NewNorth has served over 2,000 people and 200 companies over the past 4 years, including Meijer, Haworth, Johnson Controls, Stryker, Whirlpool, Tower Automotive, Herman Miller and Newell Rubbermaid. In addition to these widely recognized corporate leaders, NewNorth has served small to mid-size companies, including Stone Plastics, Stow Company, Zipments, VarsityNews Network, and Hudsonville Ice Cream.
