March 2003

Hosted by Barclays Capital
The discussion was on Emergent Change focusing on questions:

• How do you sustain change and development in more thoughtful ways whilst knowing next major unpredictable thing is round the corner?

• How can we go through major change and come out more capable of changing?

• Restructuring in name of change but real change has not happened - rearranging the deckchairs?

• How can we manage change for ourselves whilst leading process for other people?
