About the Author
SCOTT BELSKY BELIEVES
that the greatest breakthroughs across al industries are a result of creative people and teams that are especial y productive. As such, Scott has committed his professional life to helping organize creative people, teams, and networks.
Scott is the founder and CEO of Behance, a company that develops products and services to organize the creative world. He also leads “The 99%,” Behance’s think tank and annual conference that conducts and showcases research on organization and execution in the creative world.
Behance’s first product, the Behance Network, has become the leading online platform for creative professionals. The Network col ectively receives mil ions of visitors every month and has become one of the most efficient platforms for creative professionals to broadcast their work to top agencies, fans, peers, and recruiters.
In 2008, Behance launched the Action Method, a revolutionary “action management”
system that has replaced traditional project management practices throughout the creative professional world and beyond. Behance also developed the Action Method product line—a series of organizational products that are sold around the world.
Scott has traveled the globe meeting with hundreds of creative professionals and teams, always asking the question, “How do you make ideas happen?” He has consulted for leading media companies, helped institute work flow changes at top advertising agencies, and regularly speaks at major conferences in the creative industries. He has also shared Behance’s research in segments on ABC News and MSNBC, and is a regular contributor on American Express’s Open Forum.
Prior to founding Behance, Scott helped grow the Pine Street Leadership Development Initiative at the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. He was especial y focused on organizational improvement and strengthening relationships with key clients.
