The delegates are very welcome and it has been most interesting to listen to them. Some years ago I was invited to become an adjunct professor of management in NUIG. At the time I asked what the word “adjunct” meant and was told it meant one was not paid. I found it a very interesting and exciting task because the then president of the college said it was concerned about the criticism, a criticism that could be levelled at any institute, that it would become theoretical rather than practical. It wanted to have enough people there who actually had experience of business or creativity. How do the delegates manage to achieve this? How do they manage to coax their clients to meet people who have been in business, worked at it and succeeded, or perhaps failed, but who at least have that experience? Do they not find this difficult?
