Design Council Experts Directory Design Council Experts Directory April 2021 Design Council delivers its design support and design advice services in partnership with a network of experts drawn from a range of professions, experience and backgrounds. This network enables our in-house team to provide bespoke design advice that bring together local knowledge and world-class expertise. 2 Who are our experts? Our experts are professionals and organisations committed to offering independent advice and, when doing so, are required to abide by the Nolan Principles of selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership. Equality, diversity and inclusion is integral to Design Council’s work and is inherent in experts’ approach to delivering our services. Experts cover a range of design, natural and built environment sector knowledge that includes, but is not limited to: sustainability; energy, housing, and transport infrastructure; green and blue infrastructure; land stewardship; health and wellbeing; business; digital design; architecture; landscape architecture; engineering; water management; product development and service design. How we deliver Our independent design and innovation advice, support and capacity- building service brings a unique combination of approaches, processes, expertise and insight developed over the past seventy-five years. We are unparalleled in providing expertise across all design disciplines, including product, service, user experience and design in the built environment, working from pixel to city. Design Council experts can offer advice and guidance at every stage of the project, from inception and writing the brief right through to detailed delivery. Design Council works with you to understand your project and its context and identifies experts whose knowledge and skills are best suited to helping you achieve your aims and social, economic and environmental resilience. Depending on the project, experts can provide one-on-one advice or be part of a panel that gives holistic feedback, which is summarised in the form of a report and supplied to the client. Experts are also involved in delivering training and coaching, including on principles of design and design quality, as well as helping develop standards, policy and best practice. Types of experts Our experts are structured into four roles: ▪ Design Council Expert – ambassador: Our ambassadors have been appointed to recognise and honour their excellence in practice within the UK and beyond. They are leaders and changemakers whose work has progressed design thinking and act as champions for the sector. ▪ Design Council Expert – corporate partner: Corporate Partners are organisations that share Design Council's values with whom we co-create and develop work, as well as support each other's work projects. Partners help us represent community voices as well as being instrumental in contributing to Design Council's thought leadership role. ▪ Design Council Expert - associate: Associates have overarching expertise in professions that are integral to the delivery of our projects. They have understanding and experience of working in multidisciplinary teams and taking a holistic approach to projects. ▪ Design Council Expert – specialist: Specialists have focused skills, knowledge and expertise.

  • Investigation Into Reliability of the Jubilee Line
    Investigation into Reliability: London Underground Jubilee Line An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science By Jack Arnis Agolli Marianna Bailey Errando Berwin Jayapurna Yiannis Kaparos Date: 26 April 2017 Report Submitted to: Malcolm Dobell CPC Project Services Professors Rosenstock and Hall-Phillips Worcester Polytechnic Institute This report represents work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects. Abstract Metro systems are often faced with reliability issues; specifically pertaining to safety, accessibility, train punctuality, and stopping accuracy. The project goal was to assess the reliability of the London Underground’s Jubilee Line and the systems implemented during the Jubilee Line extension. The team achieved this by interviewing train drivers and Transport for London employees, surveying passengers, validating the stopping accuracy of the trains, measuring dwell times, observing accessibility and passenger behavior on platforms with Platform Edge Doors, and overall train performance patterns. ii Acknowledgements We would currently like to thank everyone who helped us complete this project. Specifically we would like to thank our sponsor Malcolm Dobell for his encouragement, expert advice, and enthusiasm throughout the course of the project. We would also like to thank our contacts at CPC Project Services, Gareth Davies and Mehmet Narin, for their constant support, advice, and resources provided during the project.
