“Twin themes focus our best practice guide this year: bridging the gap and people build success,” said Paul Smedley, Chair, Founder and Editor of the guide. “Alignment and engagement are fundamental in all nine communities of best practice and professionalism within the Planning Forum. I hope the industry makes full use of this guide to help face key challenges and raise the standards.”
