As part of the Professional Planning Forum’s commitment to develop best practice throughout the industry, the Back Office Planning Work Stream has created a virtual networking group of anybody involved with a back office environment to discuss the challenges they face and learn from the success of others.

The group has quarterly meetings which are delivered on line to reduce the impact to all attendees day to day work life as attending a conference call is often very common for a lot of people, and does not involve challenges for costs or travel.

The aim of the group is to bring together people, regardless of whether they currently plan for a back office environment, or are looking to understand those first tentative steps and share their experience with each other.

Facilitated by the Professional Planning Forum, developments in the industry, information on new articles or updates on this website are shared to support development.

We are looking to improve the confidence of planners and organisations in the field of planning within a back office environment, and the online networking group is a key part of this support
