overview of the Institute's groundbreaking research and testing of
executable new business models for newspapers. The result is a set of
practical concepts, tools and processes that newspaper companies can use to navigate to a new future.
The workshop will provide a framework for understanding the disruptive forces facing the newspaper industry, offer a new way to look at growth opportunities, explain a clear process for testing and assessing those opportunities, and provide a structure within which to apply that process to the critical growth areas of an organization.
