Picture
Something new and different. With a lot of help from friends, students and a variety of websites, a series of how-to tip sheets and style guides on how to write and present in the government context. We start with the classic of classics - the Briefing Note, in many of its various forms. there is a Style guide as well. We start on the verbal presentation side with advice on how to do a quick "Walk with me Briefing". Go to the new tab. Access here.

Professor Hamish Comes to Class

PMPA 809 has had two visits from our oldest dog, Hamish Macbeth. We are pretty casual group and Hamish managed to visit everyone many times, take and nap and begin more rounds of visits. I'm not sure about the so-called calming effects of a friendly canine, but we were pretty calm for lots of discussion on human resources and other such non-contentious topics in management.
