The meeting opened with a review of the Project Manager?s induction weekend held in January and confirmation of Judith as Logistics Manager for the expedition. The agenda moved to a round of individual updates since we last met, with a number of people making offers of skills and knowledge they are prepared to share with this team as we go through the planning process.
The forthcoming first aid training weekend was discussed along with other events scheduled for 1999 namely recruitment, introduction weekend, planning meetings, PM?s development weekend and the recce visit to Guyana in June. The production of the members handbook was put in motion with various sections delegated out.
Incorporated into the meeting were two 1 hour training sessions. The first consisted of a dialogue about individual and group behaviours and how Project Managers might manage their groups in the expedition environment. The second introduced concepts of risk assessment and how to manage safety on expedition and was followed by the group brainstorming different types of risks and what can be done to mitigate them before during and following the expedition.
General actions for the next meeting were recruit, bring ideas for forming groups and logging learning, notify Mark of any questions for recce and take a look at PXR?s and other resources available for information about Guyana and other expeditions.
Meeting closed at 1830.
