I went to this conference/show/competition thingy a while ago - but just before I went away, then things got busy with new business, so apologies for the stale posting!
Anyway, it was an interesting day - most of all because it puts into perspective your cases on things - having just written an APG paper on [...]

Hell, what if account Planners got involved too?

Good article to read from strategy+business - go here to read it.
