Our training is based on many sources so the list is long!
Primary sources are well known standards to give structure, a basis for audit & credentials BUT well know sources are ‘behind the times’ and generalised and ‘common knowledge’. They are not the insight and detail that reveals more about how to really do the job.
The chapter numbers below refer to the chapters of my >>>draft book<<< on how to cope with change. Each chapter explores ideas that are challenged by or supported by or otherwise related to the references below.
I say draft because folk tell me they find it hard to read – I don’t but I wrote it! They do and I value others opinions. Generally ‘no smoke without fire’; so if you think you could edit into being a better read than I’m open to offers of collaboration.
