Those wanting to know how the Association for Colleges got that way now have a simple answer - they are all visionaries. A staff training day devoted to finding the best ways of working together included a series of tests which concluded that the AfC office is packed with visionaries - whose characteristics are defined as intellectual orientation, excellent decision-making, outspokenness and feelings of restlessness and unfulfilment. So visionary were they being, that the office phone went unanswered during the training session. The AfC Ansaphone can only handle one call at a time.
