Ravi Koli is one of my tutors on the Professional Doctorate Programme at the University of Bedfordshire. I really like his take on academic research/writing. He said:
“The world is a messy place. Particularly in the context of the digital age where the noise of data can feel tsunami-like. Your job, in social research, is to translate the noise of living into sounds that people can hear. De-cluttered writing is the art of bringing the noise level down”.

I am a ‘People Practitioner’ who has, over the years, been swept up by the tidal wave of change that has seen my profession go from being called Manpower Management to Personnel Management to Human Resource Management, and now back, well sort of… to Systemic People Management. I came up with the last phrase because I find myself increasingly uncomfortable with working within the confines of the ubiquitous neo-liberal approach to categorising and organising people. I believe that people are people, not merely assets, human capital or resources. While we do find fulfilment from PRODUCTivity, we are ultimately human beings, not human doings. I would like to transcend who we have become and becoming in a marketized, monetarised world and leave the corporatist worldview that reminds me so much of the allegory of Plato’s Cave.
I love God, my family, playing guitar, following Arsenal, travelling and taking and editing photos. This website is a celebration of all these things and more.
