Dear All,
I have started to organize the event
with Essex group after Banff and I felt very disappointed because of the
developments for not being able to host one of the most inspiring conferences (Salute
Pierre I really enjoyed being in Gattieres) I have ever been. I am very sure they
tried to do their best to save the effort of years.
I did not cancel the reservations for
the classrooms and dancing halls, I am in negotiation with our Rector's Office
if we can provide at least the space anyhow.
For the official part, since Jane is not
any more active I cannot offer support services but we have organized a list of
various hotels and hostels then. And there is enough catering opportunities at
the campus.
If both Ceri and Ian agree we can use
the name of "Art of management" for confirmation letters sent from
our MBA Director, (for the ones who need a confirmation letter for their
institutional support alternatives) if there is a problem we can give another
name to the workshop series.
Please bare with me another day so that
I can clear if I receive support from the Rector although we don’t have
international institutional partners.
Cheers,
Gokce

Hi;
I agree with Steve. To be honest I fear coming under the
umbrella of any of the existing Academy structures. The pressures to conform,
have committees, make reports will become irresistible.
The thing about Art of Organisation is that its
Outside for Outsiders.
Lets do what we can about Istanbul...but it doesn't have
to be in Istanbul, it could be in Liverpool, or Angmassalik or Scunthorpe...
all best
David
