I'd be interested in Beth's ideas, perhaps as a future meeting. I have experience too of publish-on-demand, and would like to know more about the viral marketing aspects.

I had the great good luck to be made redundant (although it didn't feel like good luck at the time)! I had been unhappy in my work, and wondering about making a change for two reasons: to balance working life with new commitments as a mother, and to…
I posted a blog about this entertaining workshop: The engineer who became a clown who became a facilitator http://bit.ly/cuvl01
It isn’t just a change in career, Paul. It’s the reason for the change. John says, “my Whitehall Masters were unable to value my talents” because there was no requirement for John’s talents in the Civil Service. In fact, they’d most likely be seen a…

I'm not sure about the need for SMART goals - an informal learning network needs to have communication channels and for there to be sharing of experiences and reflections. Does the network need SMART goals, apart from those set by the people organis…

Fantastic question - thank you David McAra and Paul Z!
I had a major turn in my career. I started out working as a project manager with a large international bank - both in the US and in the UK. My position required the asking good questions, conne…
Thanks Jonathan, I'll order it forthwith.
Is this true of you? You on a career path that was either not inherently satisfactory or you realised there was something better for you elsewhere. And you made a decisive change as a result.

What makes a network successful?
I've been studying more and less successful networks to identify what works well. We discussed this topic at the recent St Albans AMED gathering. And these seem to be some of the characteristics:

What is OD? Defining the practice and profession of Organisational Development
There was a fascinating discussion during the first meeting of the St Albans AMED group about what connected us as OD practitioners. For one thing, we mostly didn't call ourselves OD practitioners, but felt we might be thought of in that way from time to time.
When we discussed what OD was, I certainly recognised some of the practices.
It was said:
When organisations have complex, intangible problems that are difficult to articulate, those problems belong to OD.

Neil Bett said… - Hi Paul, Thanks for the welcome. Good to 'see' you again. I really stumbled across this site my accident, but already I have made a couple of interesting connections. I am toying with coming to the St Alban's group on the 25th. It is a long way from Bristol, but I am free on that day (at the moment). Do you think it would be worth it?

- Am flattered you think my corres with Ned about complexity theory etc might be of wider interest. Would be delighted to share. As technophobe neophyte not quite sure how to go about your suggestions (or what they mean). As my 17 year old not speaking to me right now would be grateful for any assistance.
Am pleased to find another AMED member in ST ALbans. Are there any more? AMED used to have local groups but when I looked recently for a nearby one to join I couldn't find one.
Are you going to the AGM? I am.

- Hi, Paul. Well done with the videos. I meant to get some at our session in Aberdeen last week but forgot. Ideally, they might give a little more: one of the jokes Tony mentions or one of the tips valued by Amer and Belina. Otherwise, why should I trust them?

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.
