The guide, authored by Patrick Collister, Partner of Creative Matters, for the IPA, ISBA, MCCA, and PRCA, explains how to know when you have a good idea on your hands, how you can help turn a good idea into a great one and at what point in the process do you need to be most involved, or to back off. It does this through a framework of shared criteria for closer, more effective client/agency relationships and for the creation of outstanding business-building ideas.
