Project Info:
The Waitt Family Foundation was heavily involved with the Harvard Center for Technology and Ethics, so much so that it planned to donate a large sum of money to the center and have the name changed to the Waitt Center for Technology and Ethics at Harvard. NextLeft was brought in to plan the extensive Web site for the new center. This strategic planning stage encompassed a staff of 10 and a budget of $100,000. The main goal was to establish the vision, scope, schedule and budget for the follow on Web site project. The team traveled to Harvard University on two occasions for JAD sessions with the Center and Foundation staff. Ultimately the market downturn of 2000 led to Ted Waitt withdrawing his funding of the Center and the follow-on Web site engagement was cancelled.
Contribution Detail:
My role on this project was Lead Project Manager. I was the main client contact and responsible for JAD session leadership, overall team management and construction of the strategy document including full project schedule and budget for the follow-on Web site engagement.
