Working with Michael was a delight: We were the same age but where I was impetuous and overtly commercial he was calm and measured, urbane and politic, but equally passionate about the practitioner led approach to business education supported by relevant research which made for a joyful partnership cut short all too soon. His two favourite observations were that his PhD on madness in Victorian society made him eminently qualified to understand academia and that teaching and case writing for Entrepreneurship allowed him to avoid the treadmill of writing articles for the journals of the obscure! His legacy of the Entrepreneurship ecosystem at LBS including Sussex Place Ventures, the Enterprise 100 and of course the wonderful portfolio of Entrepreneurship electives and the companies they have spawned will provide a rich mine of case studies and role models in the future that will be a fine testament to Michaels vision and energy.
