Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? 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 […]
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. Life in Afghanistan for everyone has become increasingly insecure and hazardous over the last ten years […]
Here’s some of the resources we shared at our recent retreat. They are not all directly work related but they are all stimulating!

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 […]

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 […]
