Date: Tuesday 9 July 2013, 6:00pm - 9:00pm. This is a free event. Please arrive at 6:00pm or shortly after, which will give you time to settle in and meet other people. Knowledge by walking about Cass Business School has been working for more than a decade on developing an innovative method in knowledge management, which is built on walking through urban areas. This approach is called the dérive (drifting) based on a method devised by the French writer Guy Debord. The method has been used by Professor Clive Holtham with several thousand Cass Business School students and executive learners, and is now also being used in other areas of high level professional development, including teacher training and nursing, both in the UK and internationally. This is the first time that the event has been offered publicly at Cass. There will be refreshments and short briefing about the task on arrival, followed by the walk in small teams, returning to Cass to present the team's finding. This is not a guided tour, a tourist walk, or a treasure hunt. It is a specifically designed method of management learning. It is an evolution of "Management by Walking About" as developed at Hewlett-Packard, involving "noticing", conversation and storytelling. The event will take place regardless of weather conditions, so please come with appropriate protection in case of rain etc. Schedule for the evening:

He has been an adviser to the European Parliament on e-learning, and was named as one of the UK's top 3 "e-tutors of the year" by the Times Higher Education Supplement in 2001.
