BAPM Strategy 2025-2028
The BAPM Strategy sets out the plans for BAPM to focus on for 2025-2028. This was written by the BAPM Executive Committee following a survey of BAPM members regarding their views on BAPM including what they would like to see the organisation focus on in the future.
A shortlist of actions was drawn up and BAPM members were then asked to review a list of possible work projects and rate them as high, medium or low priority based on where they'd like to see BAPM put their resources for the next strategic period.
