It’s not often that we get to meet our heroes, but courtesy of Bond’s 2016 conference I got to meet one of mine and receive a free signed copy of his most recent book. I first came across Charles Handy when I was starting out in OD consulting back in 1984. At that time there […]

To celebrate our 30th birthday, we have trawled through our filing cabinets and uploaded some of our favourite tools and reports to the the resources page. Come and see us at Stand 12 at the Bond Conference on 29/2-1/3/2016 to discuss them with us! Feel free to use them, share them and modify for non-commercial purposes. […]

At this time of year the media are full of reflections on 2015 and articles looking forward to the New Year. Not to be outdone, I asked my Framework colleagues to share two of their highlights from 2015 and one thing they are looking forward to in 2016. This is what they said. Órla told […]

  We are now working ‘virtually’ so much that it seems worthwhile to step back for a moment and consider what we are losing and gaining in this, and what we can do to improve it. Individually, as a collective and with our clients, we are working across a huge variety of platforms and interfaces. […]

Risks of working with NGOs in Kabul In the past twelve months I have undertaken a variety of assignments in training, research, and process facilitation with international and national NGOs in Kabul, working almost exclusively with Afghan NGO workers.

A number of years back I developed a visual model to express what I understood to be a ‘systemic’ understanding of partner capacity building, from the perspective of any organisation engaged in developing programmes of such work. The model attempts to express my understanding of the importance for organisations to frame their partner capacity building […]

Over the past year or so in Framework, we have been spending time to develop ourselves as a collective of independent consultants. We’ve produced a vision for Framework in the world (our internal vision); confirmed our ‘portfolio’ of services; identified three ‘themes’ for how we approach our work; and are clarifying our understanding on our […]

It’s that time of year where we’re harvesting our learning and planting seeds for the future. As a relatively new Framework member, it’s the first time I’ve been involved in our Annual Review process, where we gather feedback from colleagues and clients, and consider, with our peer supervisor, what we’ve achieved and what we’ve left […]

This week I have been a resource person at a four day workshop on Organisation Development hosted by WWF UK at their Living Planet Centre. The workshop involved WWF colleagues involved in OD work from Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Kenya and the UK. It has been an exhilirating experience very ably facilitated by Richard Harris […]
