Opportunity Knocks

Had breakfast with Kim Alter. Wanted to find out how the first week with the Social Impact cohort had gone on. She said they were rated well but ......... What were these buts? Course content was not contextualised; it was not pitched correctly - they were straddling both a 'professional development' curriculum as well as an 'organisational development' initiative. The attention and interest of the participants was not uniform across the sessions; quality of resource people was not up to expectation, given the available pool; mentor related issues and co-ordination etc. etc.

All in all a good program but lacking a competent grounding.

Which leads to the interesting part. Are we interested in supporting this programme - initially till January ending. Then if mutually we decide that the experience is positive in terms of outcomes and relationship we could think of a more strategic arrangement.

Should we or should we not. We are not exactly desperate for work right now!

What do you think?
