CONSULTANT NETWORK—Barry Senior and Chris Dalzell
We have taken over responsibility for the Branch Consultant Network following on from the very good work done by Michelle Lockwood Edwards over the last 2 years
We are hoping to continue developing the network further by aiming to extend the membership and build upon the firm foundations which have already been established.
We hope to expand the range of topics covered at our future meetings and to use both network members and external “experts” to cover those areas of general Human Resource Management and Management Consultancy and to introduce new events to encompass our student membership.
We shall try to respond to the wishes of the membership and will soon be circulating a detailed questionnaire to update us on what members see as the key activities which they would like to see the network involved in.
We shall continue to make our events learner centred and utilise interactive and participative approach and hope to develop some joint activities within the main Branch programme.
Chris and myself come from differing backgrounds and we hope to bring some added value to the network.
