Chris,
You should already be able to get a pdf of V15.1 p35 on through Concepta in the AMED office. And ... if you can give me a day or two - we should be able to get you images of the other articles in pdf format too through the same channel.

My suggestion would be to add your questions as discussions. Or do you think we would stand a better chance of getting the discussion going among the comments?
Hi David,
Is it possible to obtain copies (electronic or otherwise) of any of the following archived O&P articles?
1. Resilience & Stability – Key Criteria for HR & OD Practitioners. Kenton, Barbara. Vol. 12:3 p16 (2005)
2. Authentic Consulting: L…
thanks for the welcome. you are the second person who said i should get in touch with penny walker but i do not have her contact details. can you help?
Thanks David, not quite - Mt Elbrus a couple of summers back (in the Caucasus - so it was touch and go whether we went or not - in the end we arrived a few weeks after the shooting stopped). Beautiful twin-peaked mountain - we didn't quite make the top - we turned around 300m height and 3km distance from the peak as the weather was starting to turn a little un-sporting! This picture was on the way back down from the summit attempt.
Kind regards
Nic
Hi David, thanks for your welcome. I was invited to join the network by my good friend John Carlisle. I will fill out my profile in due course and look forward to being involved in some the network's discussions, regards Richard
Hello David and thanks for your question. You are correct, I joined the Shell UK OD unit, with Donald Mungall as manager and Terry Morgan and Howard Maitland Jones as colleagues, in early 1984 and left to go freelance mid-1987. Whilst with the unit I did most of my work in Shell Expro in Aberdeen, St Fergus and Mossmorran linking with Peter Robinson in Aberdeen initially and then with Gordon Sinclair as OD manager for Expro. I continued to work very actively for them in Aberdeen and Lowestoft until 2002. Meanwhile I developed an international practice concentrating on major project stakeholder relationships, for Shell and other oil and gas majors and main contractors, by taking a systems approach to complex major international construction projects, which has continued very productively until recently when I have decided to slow the pace significantly! In the Shell context I'm glad to see the fulsome acknowledgement in your editorial and in the article of Arie de Guess' work. Also of John Seddon, who is a good friend of mine and whose work deserves to be much better known. Such riches!
Cheers, Graham
Hi David. Thanks for checking in with me as a new member. Management Development in SA is definitely interesting. I imagine that a lot of stuff we do is generic and in line with international trends, but then we obviously have some unique issues given our socio-historic background.
I'm not planning to be a very active member of AMED to start off with, if that's ok. I have a few serious challenges over the next few months, but would like to simply lurk in the shadows and glean off some insights as to what people in the network is up to. I definitely hope for this apathetic posture to change, but my weariness around over-involvement persists.
We’re pleased to announce that we’ve just received confirmation of the venue for our customary annual gathering.
More details will be announced in due course. Meantime, please put this date in your diary.
As usual, the workshop takes place during…
