Beyond the Creative
Business Operations for Creative Services Leaders by Cella Training
Chances are you're a creative services leader due to your passion and prowess for visual communications. You have the technical skills, the creative eye, the knack for identifying the extra punch that's needed.
But your role demands more. Today's creative leaders need an entirely separate suite of skills to succeed in their organizations. This concentrated two-day training will give you best practices, innovative ideas and practical how-to advice for effective business management of your creative operation. Three former in-house leaders will guide you through:
• Setting and Communicating Client Expectations
• Building Blocks for Creative Operations
• Developing a Strategic Plan
• Engaging, Developing and Promoting Your In-House Team
You'll also take home an "operations toolbox" thumb drive with templates and tools to put best practices into immediate action.
Equip yourself and your operation to go BEYOND THE CREATIVE.
This event is by the Cella Consulting:
