An Infrastructure Vision for Wales
The Association for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE) has started to develop an Infrastructure Vision for Wales.  To do this, we have adopted a strategic approach called scenario planning, further details of which are provided in the Vision 2040 document here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B9dubLvCg18nTVJNaE9mc0tRT0k.

We are keen to progress this work further to develop a robust vision for Wales and we recognise that to do this we need input and feedback from the wider consulting, contracting, policy-making and general population of the country.

We would very much appreciate your participation by completing this short questionnaire.  The information received will remain confidential and will be used solely to enhance the development of the vision.

The closing date for responses has been extended to February 7th 2016.  We want as many responses as possible so please share this questionnaire with friends and colleagues.  The questionnaire has been tested in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 11 (older versions may struggle), and also on Android, Apple and Windows smartphones.  If you have any trouble completing the questionnaire, please contact us at aceprogressnetwork@gmail.com.

If you would like to be more involved in the work we are undertaking, please contact the ACE’s Progress Network in Wales at aceprogressnetwork@gmail.com.

Thank you.
