Hello Everyone,
Well here we are again, end of the Academic year, exhausted once again and the DNA Wales team physically and mentally shattered, okay thats just me then.... [the rest of the team are younger and better able to cope with work].
But wow what a year!
We have now formally removed the shackles of Welsh Assembly Gov. funding and whilst extremely useful at the beginning our time is here, and organic growth has driven us forward. As from today we will no-longer based at Waterton. Our funding has finished most of our obligations met and new projects on the Global scale are on the horizon. I am sad this is ended, sad for Wales in one way as some have given up on the change process, but happy for others who have experienced the DNA change, thinking and ethos. Thanks must go to people like Phil Catherwood who took a risk with DNA, particularly so with Phil as he is very much a SixSigma guy and to allow a band like us to the concert took great courage. We would not have achieved this success and more if it were not for his support, Waterton Centre and Phil's grounding to the reality of details.
DNA Wales/Global will be based for the time being at Glamorgan Business School. The main reason for this is we have a new colleague Phil Crocker (AKA Paul….. sorry in-joke). Phil will be acting as our new link-co-ordinator for events, research and in-company training. Welcome on-board Phil.
We have so much on Phil is such a wonderful asset at this time of year and its great to be working with him on the new projects.
If you need to contact us then you can do this via Phil on University of Glamorgan Business School

Also just to let you know that I will be off for 4 weeks soon to recover from an operation to my back. Those that work with me are aware of my moaning over the past 5 months, so yes, peace at last….. sorry folks its taken so long to sortout…
