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 […]
I’ve been exploring how to use audio interviews as part of my work. If making a lot of mistakes is any guide to how much learning is going on, then I’ve learnt a lot! Luckily for me, I’ve been working on this with Keith Ricketts, an experienced sound media consultant who I met through the […]
After each training or workshop, I try to write up some key learning points for myself – how I’d run the course differently, what sessions worked well and which were less successful – and why.

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 […]
A lot of my consultancy work last year was around the theme of collaborative working, and it is a subject that is dear to my heart. The work took a different shape with each client – consortium facilitation; reviewing north-south partnership dynamics; facilitation of a workshop on organisational roles and approaches; facilitation of a Board’s […]

The programme involves nine participants – six from Armenia Round Table (ART) and three from other NGOs – and comprises a preparation phase (involving a self-assessment and background reading), a four day workshop and a mentoring […]
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.
