Paul Morrell wondered whether we are at a special moment?Globalisation of trade (and membership of institutions) The growth of the investor-owned, multi-national, multi-disciplinary practice (eg Aecom)Ageing professions – some are estimated to lose 25% UK members by 2020 (and Generation Y is less tribal?)
We can collaborate on projects (eg BIM and manifesto) but
It is easier for Government to get an answer from KPMG

Widespread confusion around Ethics and the Public Interest
Education (and CPD) is, in the main,
siloedClimate change is not being taken seriously enoughThe Performance Gap is usually ignoredDissemination of new knowledge into practice is far too slowSlide10
