Terry Garrett
Terry is the COO for GoLocal and focused on organization development and strategic implementation. For the past 10 years he has been developing models based on the transformation of local media ecosystems and local economies.
Currently he's developing a news media and business web platform, which is used as this GoLocal web site. Essentially the content management system (Oasis) combines a journalism model with a new business model that uses the web as the hub or starting point. The thing we know about disruptions and transitions is that the old way doing of doing things erodes faster than the new system can be developed to replace it. That's where we are now with both the economy and with media. To create the new system requires enormous experimentation.
Terry has joined the GoLocal team in that spirit.
