Thanks for the welcome, I think spreading the idea of the Governance Curriculum is a great place to start.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm not always sure what one should be telling people in your bio so I tend to keep it short. I am also quite new to using the web as a place for ideas and innovation in teaching so I'm looking forward to seeing what develops. I see from your bio that you are associated with the GSB at UCT. I have a very long association with them (having attended an annual conference there each Jan for the past ten years) and am a good friend of Colin Firer's.
Regards
David
Thank you for your message. As a friend, please count on me to help you on any trip you may plan to Colombia or Spain (i have some "meaningful life exerience" there), and on issues that deals with management development (experiences and concepts).
I am a lucky guy because I work closely with Bob every week or so, as a consultant and trainer (teambuildings, hi-po's development programs, leadership action-learning projects, etc.)
Regards,
Robert.
Action learning, eh! - does it go outdoors much?
Joe's doing very well at Cranfield management school where I think he's a bit of a star member of faculty, and he's also able to take advantage of Cranfield's liberal attitude to "off-line" work.
My Doctorate's in education - and particularly in outdoor learning...no suprise there, then.
Sounds like you've got a busy., international life going for you..

Joe is (as ever) fine...his main source of income is from Cranfield, where he's a star member of the school of management faculty, but he also has work in his own right and is a Fellow of Girton (In whose august halls we did a weird business simulation involving carpet-sized maps of countries, teacups, and electric trains - don't even ask!!!)
My Doctoral work is in education, where I'm (naturally) focussing on outdoor learning at all ages...
Action learning eh - love it! - do you get outdoors much?

Good to hear from you. I will join the Henley Group. Great trip to SA - thanks for all your hard work. Say hi to your wife for me. It was lovely chatting to her. Am finishing the assignment......
Still doing outdoor/experiential stuff with managers (fairly worldwide...with rather a lot of Eastern Europe in the mix) as well as writing and working on a Doctorate. I also do some stuff with self-marginalised kids - good for the soul!
I last worked with Joe J about 3 years ago on some fairly deep stuff for Wedgwood...and may (who knows?) do some more stuff with him.
How are you - last I heard you were in Toulouse...
Best wishes

Good to see you're still at it!
