‘Here there be monsters’: talk given at higher-ed conference
April 2018
While with Happy Cog, Greg Hoy and I were invited as part of the work we were doing with a liberal arts college to give a talk at a higher-ed PR and marketing conference about best practices for roadmapping a website redesign.
The idea of a roadmap reminded me of early navigational charts and the old warning, “Here be dragons” (which is apocrypha: it can be found on no maps and only one globe) inspired me to cast common pitfalls in the role of legendary monsters.
Shown here are a handful of slides. Happy to give this away, with presenter’s notes, if interested. Let me know.
