C&S consultant comments

"Last year I undertook some consultancy with the National School oof Government (NSG), providing training on systems thinking to top flight civil servants in Abu Dhabi as part of an NSG initiative to promote their top management programme over there."

"We are developing a consultancy model providing specialised training inputs for Talent in Practice and Swindon Borough Council.  We have a unique "triple task" training module and are hoping to be developing the reflective capacities of dozens of Council employees."
