Thanks Ned, I'll stand by to receive a note posted here when they're ready to collect.
Best wishes,

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.

I think you're right, David
Been at it all day, so brain fatigue. I'll try again tomorrow. Thankyou. BW. Bob
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?
Can consultants, facilitators and their clients use pre-internet and internet forms of writing with equal facility to achieve influence?
What strategies have O&P readers used to try to ensure that their reports have influence?
Join in the discussion with authors and other contributors.

Nic Shugar said… - 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

- 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

Alison Terry said… - Well, my photo is now included among the 31 members, so maybe that's done it!
I'm sure I'll get the hang of this eventually. No wonder you're pointing and laughing.

- Yes, that's me all right!
I've only been here 5 mins and I've already failed the intelligence test... can't see how you actually "join" the writer's group! :-000

- 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.
Keep well.
