Paul T Kidd’s web site is undergoing a major redesign with a new design and layout replacing the old. An extensive amount of new content will also be added. A major feature of this redesign is a reduction of emphasis on the Cheshire Henbury name. Gradually this is being replaced throughout the siite.

The redesign is being undertaken using an evolutionary, adaptive design approach which also integrates thinking and doing. This is contrast to the linear stage-wise thinking that is often deployed by engineers and technologists. The reason for using this adaptive method is two fold: (i) the adaptive approach is an exemplar of a post-industrial era approach to design and development (unlike the linear stage-wise method which is firmly rooted in the past industrial age); and (ii), the exercise is a development process which is itself part of an experiment, part of a learning process, and part of a knowledge development and transfer activity, which is driven by both innovation and a requirement to be responsiveness to changing circumstances. And it is really exciting not knowing fully in advance where one is going and where one might end up.

So far we have decided upon a new design layout, and eventually (after much reflection) arrived at a structure for the content that provides the capability to adapt to new opportunities and requirements. The first priority now is to translate existing content into the new layout design. Then, once this is done, we will begin to expand new content in accordance with strategic priorities. Some sub-home pages have yet to find a home in the navigation structure. These are listed here for the moment:
