Hello, my name is Patrick Delaney.
As a faithful lurker of several months tenure, a recent topic captured my
attention. I plan to contribute to the subject promptly. However, it seems
appropriate to first comply with usual listserv netiquette by posting an
introduction.
I am a Principal with an retained search consultancy, Sensible Solutions.
Learning Org readers will find this firm significantly different due to a
practice focus on senior level Portfolio Workers (external people
resources). ). Equally as important to our clients, Sensible Solutions
also conducts traditional searches for senior-level direct employees (Core
Team).
More information about Portfolio Workers (options created, strategic &
tactical uses, etc) is available from our web site at www.SensibleInc.com.
For those conducting individual search campaigns, a wealth of information
about search, market & internet resources and suggested reading is
provided there as a professional courtesy.
During the last several months, I've enjoyed the opportunity to follow a
number of fascinating discussion threads (Caring, Diagnosis, Virtual
Teams, Tools, Expendable People, etc.) through the Learning Org. Some of
the discussions have impacted on our thinking regarding client projects.
Perhaps more importantly, the discussions generated in this list have
compelled me to read more about Knowledge Management and Learning Orgs.
It has been interesting to learn where and how our firm fits with this
discipline. It is quite refreshing to find others who share similar
perspectives about organizations, structure, and getting results.
As a lurker-no-more, I continue to be interested in the thoughts of those
participating in this forum. As time permits and when useful, I look
forward to adding to the group discussions.
Sincerely,
Patrick Delaney
