Back in April 2012 I facilitated a workshop in The Netherlands for a design team of nine enthusiastic staff from Member organisations of The Leprosy Mission Fellowship. Their task was to update the way the Fellowship Members carry out their ‘Annual Country Learning’. Annual Country Learning is described by TLM as “an annual process of […]
It has been a busy Summer and the Autumn looks set to be busier still. I’m currently working with Oxfam Novib on their framework for Knowledge and Innovation Management and with The Leprosy Mission International on their system for Annual Country Learning. Next week I am off to Armenia to work with the Armenian Round […]
Last week I attended a four-day course on domestic renewable energy technology. I am a member of the St Andrews Environment Network – a small community organisation that encourages people living in my locality to save energy and live more sustainably. The course content was really interesting and for me it was great to be […]

I had the opportunity to co-facilitate the workshop with Jacqueline Verhagen from PSO. Working with another facilitator is […]
I have just started as a ‘test-pilot’ for Edinburgh University’s exciting new online course entitled ‘Global Environmental Challenges’. Already I’m learning a lot about how to set up a small online community and make it vibrant (encourage people to connect with one another quickly using blogs and online mind-mapping); how to provide course material in […]
I’m currently working with Oxfam Novib on their approach to innovation. It’s fascinating examining the overlaps and interconnections between innovation, knowledge management and organisational learning. As a result of the research I am doing, I’m clearer now that there are three stages to the process that we often lump under the one word, innovation. First […]
I have just finished reading Walter Isaacson’s incisive biography of Steve Jobs. It was fascinating to gain insights into Jobs’ visionary thinking for Apple (and Pixar). In a particularly revealing section on the development of the iPod and iTunes, Isaacson reports how Sony – a company that should have been able to beat Apple in […]
I’m delighted to share that insights from the two virtual convenings I facilitated with SARELL are now being hosted as a case study on the Aspen Institute’s Aspen Digital hub. The convenings explored the nature of mistrust in social platforms, and proposed actionable strategies for rebuilding user wellbeing and trust
