Welcome

 

I founded my sole-practitioner consultancy in 1993 in Bristol, moving a few years later to Taunton in Somerset.  I am now semi-retired, taking on a few small projects annually. 

My main areas of work are:

§  supporting the development of emerging professions and communities of practice

§  professional standards, qualifying and development processes

§  work-based education, training and assessment systems, particularly in relation to professional and higher education

§  research into digital learning as it relates to workplaces.

I provide expert advice and commentaries, develop frameworks and resources, and carry out small-scale research reviews.  This paper reflects on my approach after 30 years in practice:  Success factors in consultancy projects: making ‘maps that work’”.
