Managing the Online-Offline Partnership
Oct 9 with David Wertheimer
http://smartexperience.org/classes/managing-online-offline/
Thinking strategically and practically, we will explore why
offline professionals have trouble relating to Internet tenets
and the ways in which knowledge can be shared. We'll deconstruct
the reasons why an online team has an outsider, or renegade,
feel, and discuss the methods for imparting wisdom and gaining
buy-in. Students will leave with new ideas and solutions for
making online concerns an everyday focus of a company. David is
the director of Internet marketing at the Clarins Groupe and the
former web design director at The Economist.
