On June 7 Amanda Watlington will be leading one of our Business Blogs Workshops at Novell in Waltham, MA (near Boston). Cesar Brea has agreed to serve as our lunch speaker. Cesar is the managing partner of ESM Partners, a consulting firm specializing in helping its clients launch enterprise-software-based businesses and other programs. In the past year, Cesar has worked with both public and private commercial firms, as well as other such as Harvard's Kennedy School and MIT's Sloan School, both of which are cases in our book. Cesar publishes two blogs and his personal blogging is also a case in the book. He has implemented blogs as part of broader solutions elsewhere for clients; he has also recently been a featured speaker on blogs and other social networking technologies for such organizations as the American Marketing Association and the Public Relations Society of America. We are very pleased to have him join the session.
