What they say
"Very informative and relaxed approach. A good introduction to a very large field, website access, etc will be invaluable. I know where to start – now have to go and do it but take comfort in the extensive website and associated materials that are available These events are always useful in that they have a small number of participants which encourages discussion. Mike is very willing to discuss specific areas in more detail, which was useful. Useful guidance on techniques & methods for going about horizon scanning in a systematic and measurable way. I enjoyed the stories /examples and found it extremely interesting." Peter Black, DAFF, Australia.
