PROJECT CLIPPER (ASHRIDGE): ALUMNI EVENT TO BE PRESENTED IN SA ON 4 MAY 2006 AT ST GEORGE HOTEL

The 4th May 2006 will see South Africa hosting an Alumni Event at St George Hotel. This occasion will be presented by the Ashridge Management College.

The programme is meant only for those who have attended any of the Higher and Senior Management programmes, either in the UK or RSA, presented by the Ashridge Management College.

This is a genuine alumni event to revitalize rather than merely follow up the main programme, and aims to refresh thinking about leadership, share experiences in applying learning and build a network of key managers.

The primary goal is to build on participants’ knowledge with new thinking and new tools and techniques, and so offer a fresh incentive to keep this learning alive.

It is vital to help previous attendees of the Leadership and Management Development Programme to continue to share their skills and capability to make a difference to the organization. The purpose is to add value, which will in turn have an impact on the organisation. However, this should not be misunderstood as just another day off from work.

Inputs for the planning and organising (theme, etc) of the Event can be forwarded to this office by 17 February 2006.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) of the United Kingdom (UK) will foot the bill for the day, which will include course administration, tea and lunch.

It should be noted that participants are responsible for the costs and arrangements regarding transport and accommodation prior to and/or after the Alumni Event.

Those attending should verify the costs and the availability of transport and accommodation with the provider.

A nomination received should be regarded as a definite commitment, but not a guaranteed selection.

A nomination form is attached to letter J TRG/R/103/3/2 dated 19 December 2005, which should be faxed promptly to Joint Training Subdivision at (012) 355-5262.

The closing date for nominations is 3 March 2006.

A swift reply is also needed to enable the organisers to keep to the deadlines negotiated with the UK.

Enquiries: Mr D.P. de la Rey, Deputy Director PSAP ETD Policy and Doctrine (012) 355 5880 or Mr Clive Pillay, Assistant Director PSAP ETD Policy and Doctrine (012) 355 5454
