Publication of China 2.0 01/08/09 Marina Zhang PhD, the Centre’s representative in China. China is in the midst of a radical transformation that has - thus far - not been well understood, especially by foreigners. Interconnection and collaboration among Chinese citizens using Web 2.0 is real and massive – indeed, among the 300 million Internet users and over 600 million mobile phone users in China, the level of connectivity is staggering. The mobilization of public opinion, though under the government’s censorship, has caused a new social order in China. Besides fundamentally altering the social order, Web 2.0 is impacting massively on the way that business is done (most especially, relationships with consumers) and the way public opinion is handled. Even more profoundly, it is creating a level of political transparency and institutional reforms which China has thus far avoided. It is no exaggeration to claim that a completely new era in China’s five-thousand year historical development – China 2.0 – has arrived. This book carefully maps the ways in which China is being transformed socially, politically, technologically and economically – and the implications of those changes for a variety of stakeholders. One thing is absolutely clear – engaging with China on the basis of previous philosophies and practices will not work in China 2.0. All manner of stakeholders – businesspersons, corporations and governments, among others – need to develop a new mindset and new skills if they are to be effective in China. While China 2.0 poses new challenges, it also creates a multitude of new opportunities which this book points to. At a time in world economic history when options are disappearing much faster than they are being created, and in which new crises appear on an almost daily basis, understanding China 2.0 should not be regarded as something that is merely interesting but, rather, as something that is imperative. http://www.amazon.com/China-2-0-Transformation-Superpower-Opportunities/dp/0470824239
Geoffrey Abbott joins Journal Editorial Board 01/08/09 There is increasing interest in international and cross cultural aspects of coaching.

Recently, the Centre’s Director was asked to join the Editorial Board. This journal has online, peer-reviewed articles. http://www.business.brookes.ac.uk/research/areas/coachingandmentoring/err404=research/areas/coaching&mentoring
Global Seminar Series Gains Momentum 01/08/09 The international business coaching seminar series is exciting interest across eleven cities around the world. Companies and individuals are registering interest and the Centre’s regional representatives are finalizing details for the venues. The small group format means that the 2010 series will close off before the end of 2009. Interest is already strong in additional countries and cities for future seminars.
