You will notice the Harvard Business School Working Knowledge website has new plumage. Although our basic design remains the same, you’ll see a revised
masthead at the top of every page and a new color palette reflecting design changes rolling out across the School.
That’s not all. Over the last few months we have tripled the amount of articles we publish each week, as part of a program to improve Working Knowledge in its second decade of service.
