It's that time! It's Planners Survey time!

Heather LeFevre's 6th annual Planner Survey is out.

This survey is sent out to planners throughout the world (last year we had 1,217 responses) and we are hopping to reach 2,000 this year!  

This survey has grown over the years and become very important in the community, as it helps paint a picture of the planning panorama.  

Ever wondered... 
- Am I getting paid fairly? 
- Who are the important movers and shakers of the industry? 
- What are the trends moving the profession? 
- How often are others folks changing jobs and why? 
- How can I break into Planning?  

The survey will help you understand these issues and much much more... So spread the word planners: email, post, blog and tweet away.

Also thanks to Heather for letting me be part of the Survey Team and play, it's real exciting!

island outliers

Most of us have seen the Internet gain a very dominant role in our lives over the past decade, so it is hard to imagine a life without it. We have accepted that the oh-so-powerful web will write the present and future of our modern societies.

However there are some who live outside, I am not talking about those who cannot access or understand the technology but those who choose a life free from it.  

connections planning in action

Connections planning´s rep has been put on the spot, first it was a boom and now some question its existence and survival. I am for taking things with a pinch of salt but I also believe in balance, so I wanted to share these examples that have caught my eye during my new commuting routine in Madrid.

In my opinion both are a great case in point of connections planning, seamlessly fitting products and services in people´s lifestyle, parting from the following data: Madrid is the city with most public transportation commmuters in the country (50% vs a 21% nation average).
