What is next for design?
For the last half century there have only been three choices for any business leader who wants to access creativity to boost, grow or transform their business. Build an in-house creative team, work with an established agency or work with freelance individuals. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses, and each can be ideal in a given situation, but none of them offers the full spectrum of possibility for how to bring rare creative talent to specific business challenges. Neol is an alternative to these existing approaches. A worldwide community of talented creative leaders who come together in a network, making use of platform technologies to facilitate communication, collaboration, operational processes and governance.
