Birds of a feather meetings are informal gatherings of individuals with the same interests. They are usually unstructured and ad-hoc.

Birds of a Feather Meetings

Birds of a feather meetings can be similar to communities of interest in that they may be organic in their development. Some conferences have slots set aside for them on specific subjects / interest areas. Our understanding is that they may have originated from the world of computing.

There’s really nothing more to say about these meetings.

Connected Management: An Annual, Open Management Development Programme.

Connected Management is our human-focused, management development programme. It helps managers develop the skills, knowledge, tools and confidence to lead thriving, high-performing teams in a human-focused way.

We run open cohorts at least once a year, starting in late spring. We also run in-house cohorts for private clients.

We have basically nothing to say about these meetings. They just sound like a bit of a get together for a chat to us, so not sure we even need a name for them, but perhaps it’s helpful…

We probably owe you an apology for taking up your time even creating this post!
