I am an active founder partner of Cetis LLP, a cooperative limited liability partnership established in 2015 from a group that had been working together since before 2000.
What I love doing is bringing together the human and the technical. This could be through: cognitive science as in my PhD; HCI as I taught; learning technologies, as in my book “Electronic Portfolios: Personal information, personal development and personal values” (2009); conceptual modelling; concepts and tools to support non-hierarchical governance and wellbeing. I love consensus-oriented work, as the outcome is often broader, deeper, more satisfying and more durable than any individual positions. In any complex situation like real life, everyone tends to have their own way of thinking (as my PhD confirmed), but to live together we need to share on many levels.
I've been slowly working on what I call the CHOICE System for over 25 years. It has vast potential. I need collaborators to bring it to fruition.
In consultancy, one high point was InLOC, a European expert team project I led, working towards a standard representation of structures of skills, learning outcomes, and competence. The basic ideas in InLOC can provide one of the keys to a new economy.
