Hi all
I had a quick listen to the [first 6 or 7] slides of the 8th principle
seminar and liked what I heard - it gives lots of examples of how the OIC
understand certain issues and definitions.
Also the site has speeded up a lot.
Now for the bad news. The seminars are online and not available on CD-ROM
or in print. This effectively ties you to your computer when, ideally, it
is the kind of thing you could listen to in the car going home . .
. Also, the output is a bit jumpy - stopping and restarting a slide
when the download hasn't been completed.
The text of the presentation is downloadable, but reading it means you lose
all the benefits of listening to a voice *explaining* things.
Cheers
