A January 2017 Development Report informed the Board’s decision to change the way PET does things:

  1. operate “integrally”—taking colleagues’ belief and mindset into account, so that job descriptions fit individual strategic and/or executive interests,
  2. co-create simple procedures so that we CAN focus on what we like (=are good at) doing,
  3. further clarify PET’s Vision, Mission and Aims (& business plan)
