Design Council

''As one of the world’s leading design institutions, we are a centre of new thinking and insight into new ways to do business. We actively show how design can help build a stronger economy and improve everyday life through practical demonstrations and by supporting private industry and the public sector. In turn we invest in the future of UK design.'' http://www.designcouncil.org.uk/about-us/Who-we-area-and-what-we-do/
''It was founded by Hugh Dalton, President of the Board of Trade in the wartime Government, and its objective was 'to promote by all practicable means the improvement of design in the products of British industry'. And that was to stay unaltered through half a century of social, technological and economic change''  
This website  has a warehouse full of information on Design and Design strategies, when you have a spare week free (and if you are bored enough) read it.  The website gives more information on Design thinking, along with pod cast from Tim Brown from Ideo, see next post for details.
