my whole name is Jeremy Cooper (which would not all fit on the subject
line of this email), and I am currently a research fellow in the school
of management. at The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand, based in
Wellington.
I have spent the last four years teaching in the strategy area, and my
current research interests include 'The Learning Organisation', from
which newsgroup I heard about this list, and the process of developing
and engendering team creativity. A recent project has been the design and
development of pc-based software for assisting group decision-making
processes, which I have been using in a variety of 'strategic thinking'
contexts.
Writers who have done much to shape my present thinking include those in
the systems area: Checkland, Flood, Jackson, and the systems dynamicists:
Forrester, Meadows, Lane, Moorcroft, and Sterman.
On the side (and at weekends) I help run a winery - have you tried a
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc lately?.
I look forward to participating in this group.
