Anatomy of A Business Engagement

Michael Smethurst

I've just finished up an unsatisfying engagement with a young and growing production services company.

 

It's not the people I didn't like, I think they're almost to a one, extremely talented, smart and capable people. It wasn't the clients. The clients were generally visionary, highly engaged in the projects, excellent communicators, and reasonable.

 

What is Web 2.0?
