Social Strategy & Design by @KarlLong

Episode 4 of “the co-creative business show” a weekly podcast on the topics of co-creation, co-creative business and the technology and media that underlie this trend. This weeks special guest/co-host is John Winsor, CEO of Radar Communications and author of “SPARK: Be More Innovative Through Co-Creation“. I really enjoyed this show and hope you get some useful ideas from it, as always i’m allways looking for feedback, either in the comments, via email, or audio comments. Thanks, Karl
