Its been an intensive few days with Accreditation Courses in Singapore, Melbourne and Perth. Viv Read co-taught the Melbourne one which was kindly hosted by the Department of Justice, who are building a good group of practitioners. Singapore and Perth were myself and Steve Bealing. Perth was hosted by the University of Western Australia. I like this tight linking of courses, it gives you a chance to refine material and see new links. Also in all three cases the participants were engaged and engaging, more than prepared to speak their minds. I often think you learn more from teaching than you teach ......

I'll be back in Australia for KM Australia and some work in New South Wales, and then again for a really interesting conference in Perth (which I strongly recommend) immediately after Wales play Australia in the World Cup. What I wear will depend on the results; the three feathers or sackcloth and ashes. Next week Atlanta, then the London Accreditation programme followed by Atlanta again, then teaching at the University of Pretoria coupled with an Accreditation Course. It's good to see interest so high, and with the new web site almost ready to go, and plans for take on of junior staff it looks like we are in for a sustained period of activity.

One of the things that is really pleasing me at the moment is that interest in complexity and narrative seems to have gone through a phase shift in respect of growth, especially in the US which has been silent for some time. Not only that, the interest is mainly from blue chip companies and government, all looking for new ways of handling uncertainty.
