Editor's note
=============
The issue of goals has been high on the agenda this week, with
SMART supporters and detractors battling it out in response to

SHABBY revolution? Have your say:

And if you find that name badges are ditched by delegates before
the first coffee break - and well before you've a chance to
remember anyone's name - don't miss our Trainer's Tip below.
