BREAKFAST CLUB NO. 4: Redesigning the RFP response
Maybe you’ve gotten one: the RFP that asks for mountains of miraculous work, for no money, delivered in 20 minutes. Or the one for a project so boring you wouldn’t give it to an intern. This morning’s Breakfast Club asks: Can we perform a Jedi mind trick and turn those nightmare RFPs into satisfying, rewarding work?
Victor Lombardi, veteran consultant and teacher, will lead a discussion about rethinking how to conquer the dreaded RFP.
As the Director of Smart Experience, Victor Lombardi invents design-related educational materials for working professionals. He is a manager at Roundarch, an Internet consultancy, and he teaches the Business & Design course at the Pratt Institute. You can learn more about him at http://victorlombardi.com/
BREAKFAST CLUB:
AIGA/NY’s casual morning get-together for the sharing of knowledge and the drinking of coffee.*
*(or tea)
Starting with Breakfast Club NO.1 in October, we will meet on the second Tuesday of every month for coffee, a nibble, and spirited conversation. Each Breakfast Club will have a topic of focus that will be introduced by a discussion leader. Our conversations will cover the range of creative, financial, and pragmatic challenges that designers too often face alone—challenges that can often be overcome with open, casual dialogue. Muffins and croissants and amazing Mud coffee will be provided.
Breakfast Club is open to AIGA members only and is a free event.
