Business Perspectives for Creative Leaders

by PCG Staff on December 4, 2012 in Events with Comments Off

AIGA and the Yale School of Management have collaborated to present an educational program for leaders in the creative field. It takes place in New Haven, CT over six days in July 2013.

“Business Perspectives for Creative Leaders” uses case studies, lectures, guest speakers and study groups to give creative leaders a more complete understanding of business and design through the eyes of business executives (i.e., clients), giving participants a truly unique curriculum, tailored to their needs.

The program is taught by a team of Yale School of Management faculty who are regarded as among the world’s most experienced business scholars and teachers. Participants stay in a local hotel and eat together on campus, offering both privacy and ready access to colleagues, as Yale’s guiding principle is that executives learn best from one another in an atmosphere that stimulates teamwork and collaboration. “Studying Case Studies” by Yale School of Management provides an understanding of how to approach the case study method.

by PCG Staff on September 28, 2012 in Firm with Comments Off

Brian Dwyer holds the Guinness World Record for largest collection of pizza memorabilia; he has a caricature of himself, eating pizza, tattooed on his back with the phrase “Totally saucesome!”; and he is the driving force behind Pizza Brain, which he describes as the nation’s first pizza museum.

“We thought it was a funny idea, and we started doing some research,” Dwyer said. “And when we discovered that nowhere on earth was there a physical place, a monument built to pizza, we said, ‘This is going to be huge.'”

Pizza Brain opened on September 7 in Fishtown. Read all about it in this story from CBS News:
