Ha! I missed a presentation he gave at the Business school I used to work for in Barna, as I had to go back to London to sort out my work permit circa 1983.He was also famous for taking a business problem from one institution and getting people into groups from another to work out a viable solution.Nice work if you can get it! Used to enjoty setting his lateral thinking puzzles as warmers for students to work out.
