The opportunity to participate in Peer into the Future (the partnership between Penna and PPMA) Cohort 4 was made available to me as I was joining Swindon BC and local government from the NHS. I was delighted when my application was accepted, but also slightly apprehensive as to what to expect.

My aspirations from Peer into the Future were to tap into a strong network of other senior HR and OD professionals within the wider landscape of local government as well as the opportunity to benchmark and learn from others in the sector.
