Consulting blues
A close affiliation between PDN (The Professional Development Network), a market leader in developing consulting skills, and the Oxford Blues team is almost inevitable. The main "players" in PDN chase every opening during breaks in assignments to get on court and have probably played in as many countries as most tour pros. Swinging a racket and uttering the odd oath is a great way of relaxing after tough days in the seminar room with bright young graduate consultants or senior managers who are wrestling with consulting development, from analytical problem-solving to thought leadership.
You will find the Blues and PDN links get even stronger when, having located a group of PDNers (easily identified by their conversations about famous victories and questionable decisions), you find that you are in the company of ex-Blues, fathers of current Blues, and active Jesters. Small wonder that PDN gives its wholehearted support to the Blues tour of the US and wishes them great success and enjoyment, on and off the court.
