Our new knowledge exchange and professional development initiative is based on the tried and tested action learning set model of problem solving through group discussion of workplace issues. Taking part in a collaborative working group can support your professional development in a number of key areas, including management, communication, problem solving skills and culture change issues. 

Planner-orientated working groups will help improve management, communication and problem-solving skills through the discussion of workplace problems and issues by group members. Cross-disciplinary working groups will bring together a variety of disciplines helping group members resolve localised problems encountered in the planning system; promote good practice; foster discussion at the local or regional level; and promote a wider professional understanding between all those responsible for creating sustainable communities.

A copy of the introduction and self-help guide can be downloaded here, with additional supporting information available here.
