Dear All;
I am very sorry for the disturbance and inconvenience I have caused
due to my previous message which I foolishly sent to the whole group
instead of a colleague (which shows my dire need for strong coffee
today).
To apologize properly, I would like to share the following that are
hopefully more relevant than my prior message:
First, I loved watching the many TED talks on design and you might
find them inspiring: http://www.ted.com/search?q=design
Second, Rotman School organizes two distinctive events on design and
innovation in London next week and some of you might be interested in
attending them (below):

Inviting Clients, Colleagues or Friends: If you know others who would
be interested in receiving this invitation, please forward it to them.
Alternatively you can email their contact details (mailto:
[log in to unmask]) and they will be invited directly. I have
two items that may be of interest:
1) Our article titled ‘Reorienting self-directed learning for the
creative digital era’ is published, out now:
http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?articleid=17050762
2) I would like to raise awareness of two upcoming event series in
London that are of great interest to me –(I am not sure if they would
qualify as being appropriate for being included in the newsletter
though – you can decide).
First, I will attend the following two Rotman events in London next
week (below); and I think it will be both developmental and strategic
for some of our colleagues to attend the events. I think we can take
inspiration from how they raise the global profile of Rotman School of
Management using regular showcase events in London as a base for
marketing to Europe - surely we can also organize distinctive events
to raise our profile in London.
Second, there is another interesting seminar series by
School of Life of London: http://www.theschooloflife.com/calendar/
Thank you very much.
Sincerely;
Fahri
