I wasn’t sure if I would produce a roundup this month, but given the overwhelming response to my personal update last week, I had to! I did not feel able last week to respond individually to each of the many messages received, but let me take the opportunity now to say that they were all very much appreciated.

Some have asked if they could make a donation in Florence’s memory. To the benefit of Bluebell Wood Children’s Hospice, there is a page set up for that purpose:

Florence Ann Burrows

They do great work and I can’t speak highly enough of them, but for something less local, you might also consider the Make-A-Wish Foundation (UK) or its equivalent in your country.

Work-wise, and in clarification to last week’s message, the online and Copenhagen-based trainings are off (leaving a couple of days free pre-Øredev in Copenhagen/Malmö if you have ideas about those), but the two India-based trainings remain very much on. This is what my events calendar looks like now:

5-7 November, Malmö, Sweden:
Øredev 2025 30 November to 01 December, Pune, India:
Leading with Outcomes: Train-the-Trainer / Facilitator (TTT/F) – Pune 3-4 December, Bengaluru, India:
Leading in the Knowledge Economy (LIKE) – Bengaluru 5-6 December, Bengaluru, India:
Kanban India 2025

I can’t honestly say when I’ll add further public trainings, so you may want to give serious consideration to joining me in Pune or Bengaluru for TTT/F or LIKE (respectively). Even with travel from outside of India, they look pretty cost-effective, and there’s the conference too. You wouldn’t be the first to make that choice!

Under the current circumstances, there are no new posts or videos; check out the media page and recent roundups for pointers to what’s out there. There is some interesting activity happening behind the scenes in relation to the recent book, and if that matures, I’ll let you know. Meanwhile, there is the book itself of course:

Wholehearted: Engaging with Complexity in the Deliberately Adaptive Organisation (2025)
