I had a busy morning on paperwork and on a very useful meeting with Lyn Telford of the Watford Learning Partnership.

At lunchtime I travelled to Borehamwood to “facilitate” a joint meeting of Hertsmere CVS and Hertsmere Community Partnership, who are considering a merger. On my understanding of the briefing I’d received, I tried to facilitate the meeting through an exercise to consider a shared vision and mission. But this is rather an abstract exercise and people were too focused on tangibles and practicalities. Once I'd grasped this, the meeting was much more productive.
