The Practitioner likes to look forward, especially in a Leap Year. (See last week’s blog on New Year/Leap Year), but…looking backward is also fun. And… appropriate in 2016 as FFI celebrates its 30th anniversary.
So in keeping with The Practitioner’s eponymous name linked to the Richard Beckhard Practice Award, The Practitioner thought our readers might enjoy seeing, hearing and reading the latest thinking from some of the Richard Beckhard Practice Award winners.
