It's been a very successful trip; I'm departing tired, but satisfied. Before leaving I finalized the session titles with Michael. I think Michael's done an outstanding job of capturing the theme of the conference and session topics and creating titles that work. I'm privileged to have Michael as a friend and trusted advisor. Now, what remains, is to come up with an outline and presentation for each of these sessions. Fortunately, I won't have to do all of it alone. I'm blessed to have a number of outstanding experts in their own right contributing to my research and presentation. I'll tell you more about these people and the sessions they will be contributing to in an upcoming post. Meanwhile feel free to have a look at the session titles. (If you would like to contribute to the conference, let me know; full credit and resource opportunities will be given for all contributors.)

Wow! Those are some great topics making me want to go to the Philippines.
I don't know if you already planned to do so, but there might be a lot of interest for this material elsewhere. Maybe you can put it in a webcast or a book...

Jeroen, the conference will be recorded. No idea yet, for what I will do with the video recordings, yet, outside of sharing them with my clients. Meanwhile, I hope to blog about many of the topic/sessions as I prepare so you'll get a flavor for what's coming and even share your thoughts, if you care to.

They look great. I see productive people has develop a similar system of organizing themselves but this is a step or two advance.
Hoping you would boost up Filipinos to go on to make a breakthrough, and not start well and finish nothing. Care take we can get tired, bored, caught up in the system but not doing something or doing it on the wrong direction.
