In Barack, Inc., Libert and co-author Rick Faulk present the Obama campaign as a business, identifying lessons any business leader can use to maximize performance. The campaign didn't just make history: it teaches lessons from which every organization can profit. It was brilliantly planned, strategized, and executed, and built to drive home a powerful, consistent core value proposition: the proposition of change. Moreover, it had an extraordinary understanding of innovation, manifested by its use of technology to achieve specific, quantifiable goals.

Webcast Participants Will Learn:

• How Obama sought to build a strong, ongoing relationship with the online communities
• How in business as in politics, online communities are making the established ways of doing things passé
• How the theme of Obama’s campaign, “change,” is also the engine of business, the real power behind growth and progress

Libert is the Chairman of Mzinga, a leading social media solutions company with clients such as ABC, AOL, Disney, iVillage, Chevron Corporation, Johnson & Johnson, MTV, Sports Illustrated, and Prudential Financial.

This complimentary webcast is sponsored by Safari Books Online, the leading on-demand digital library for technology, creative and business professionals.
