Here’s a video to give a flavour of our two days at the Bond Conference in February. It was our first time having a stand at a conference, so we worked hard to get posters designed, leaflets printed, materials to display, and things to give away. We met lots of people, old and new, went […]
The revolution in remote working and virtual meetings has taken hold, but our skills haven’t necessarily kept up. Learn to run excellent virtual meetings and workshops. ICA USA and ICA UK have been in existence for over 50 years, teaching people how to maximise engagement and participation in the voluntary and NGO sector. Now our […]
We’re delighted to be exhibiting at the Bond Conference (Stand 12) today and tomorrow. It’s been an exciting morning so far, and we’re also partaking of the ‘virtual’ element: apparently #bondconf is trending number 3 in the UK, after #leapyear and #oscar (who’s Oscar?!). Delighted to be part of such a vibrant and thought provoking […]

TS Eliot ‘The Rock’ Truly managing knowledge is a big challenge. So perhaps it is not surprising that many organisations which invest in knowledge management systems end up managing […]
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 […]
Here is a link to the first of my ’30 things I have learned about learning in organisations’: If you have to make a choice between codifying knowledge and connecting people, choose the latter
This year – 2015 – Framework celebrates its 30th birthday. As well as being a time for celebration, an anniversary is also a good time for reflection. I have been a member of Framework for 15 of its 30 years and during that time I have worked with dozens of organisations. Many of those organisations […]
