It's not every day a BFR member is written up in the Sunday Globe!  Diana's consulting work was highlighted in a Globe article about the Marlborough Charter school.  Well done, Diana!  Can we get your autograph?

We had fun with this simulation  - it was really a kind of scenario planning.  We had to figure out how to sustain the livelihood and environment of a wheat-farming region in Australia, with consideration to changing environmental, political and societal factors.  We clearly saw how our original decisions affected the long-term outcome, which has implications for strategic planning in a world of uncertainty. 
Thanks very much to Deb Bercume and Karen Stacey for an excellent program.

We have a publicly accessible Member Directory so people can find out about you and your skillset.  This feature makes it possible for people to search the directory by areas of expertise. This means that members of the public can find you if they need a consultant with your skills, and other BFR members can find you to collaborate on projects or seek your expert advice.  Here's an example:  I searched on "Virtual".
