The case follows the genesis and development of Palo, a radical urban communications hub designed to replace payphone booths on Manhattan’s city streets, through a joint venture between frog design and a venture-backed firm LQD WiFi. The case explores the complexity of the design and development process and offers lessons on designing products and services that meet end users’ needs as well as the engagement processes that produce them. The case also explores how the partners' innovative venture model allowed for a working relationship far more responsive and flexible than the typical fee-for-service firm-client model.

St. Camillus is a fictional non-profit hospital in rural Maine facing a serious budget deficit. As Director of Marketing, Victoria Stern is building a team to modernize the hospital fundraising efforts. An interview with a promising candidate who is also a digital native forces her to confront shifting attitudes toward issues of data and privacy across generations against the backdrop of continued cybercrime and data breaches within the healthcare industry. Students grapple with the tension between data as "useful" or private within an organization. In this context they explore the ethical issues they will face around data security and data governance in their roles as managers.
