Senge (1947- ) was named a ‘Strategist of the Century’ by the Journal of Business Strategy, one of 24 men and women who have ‘had the greatest impact on the way we conduct business today’ (September/October 1999).

Comment:Last Updated:19 December, 2014Section:news Principals tell Ofsted they fear the sector has some growing up to do Ofsted is undecided about whether the further education sector is “mature enough” to cope without graded lesson observations, it has emerged.
Despite putting an end to the controversial practice in school inspections, the watchdog has stalled over making a decision for FE providers because of what it calls a “split” in the profession: many teachers want the grades to be scrapped but the majority of principals support them.
