it is not just UK... they are every where??...

I was on the phone to Brian Gerrish for nearly 30mins during the Summer giving him some information about Common Purpose.

Common Purpose exists, all I can say is, I have seen it. Hell, they own the Belfast International Airport which was renamed to the George Best Airport. They advertise their course on A4 pages that are handed to certain groups (not elite, not always) within different industries. My experience is within the City Council, and let me just say that even though someone puts their name down for the course; they don't always get accepted even though it is meant to be beneficial for certain jobs within the council. They are very picky when it comes to Common Purpose course candidates.
