CPD Perspectives on Organisations
(Date Posted: 21/02/2011) 
This exciting new study/research group is planned to start in May 2011. The group will both offer participants an opportunity to discuss selected historical & contemporary papers on “organisations” and to consider different models and ideas in relation to their own work context. The closed group will run for 5 sessions from May 2011 to December 2011. Group size will be limited to a maximum of 10 and people are expected to commit to attending all sessions except in exceptional circumstances. We hope that this process might also form the basis of an ongoing qualitative research project but this is, of course, open for discussion in the introductory meeting. Contact us for further details
