Project management consulting and training for social change organisations.
Great morning on Tuesday of this week — I was invited by my good friend and colleague Dr. Dan McQuillan to deliver a half-day training on Agile Project Management to the folks at Make Your Mark here in London. It was really interesting — many of the projects going on there are non-technical and it was the first time I'd presented Agile concepts/methods to a non-technical crowd. We spent the first half of the session talking about Agile basics, principles and practices and the second half discussing how the three might be applied to Make Your Mark projects. It might be difficult for Make Your Mark to release versions of an event iteratively, but we did identify opportunities for them to "institute learning and adaptation" :)
Thanks again for having me, Make Your Mark — I had a great time meeting you and hope to see you all again sometime!

Next month I'm heading home to Toronto to participate in Social Tech Training, a three-day, hands-on, Web 2.0-oriented learning intensive for people working in the social change sector, presented by members of the Web of Change community in partnership with MaRS.
A whole bunch of people I really admire and respect are going to be there, I get to present on what I'm really, really into at the moment and I expect to meet dozens of people doing amazing and interesting work — it should be awesome :)
Hope to see you there!
