APG Fireside Chats with Kev Chesters
2nd, 16th & 30th November 2021
November’s APG events turn the spotlight on Kev Chesters. Kev is Partner at Harbour London and a recently published author. He will be musing on a series of topics, all of which have an important but stimulatingly tangential relationship with the art and science of Planning.
In the spirit of hybrid working life, they will be part talk and part chat. So gear up for half an hour of serious stimulation followed by half an hour of questions and conversation. These sessions are free to APG members and £25+vat for non-members.
You can book the first two of these now. The third will be available to book early November 2021.
Please note: These events will not be recorded

Why Do We Persist with Predictions?
30th November | 5pm to 6pm GMT
(Location TBC)
It’s that time of year when your client asks you to tell them what’s going to happen next. We’re in thrall to predictions but it’s a flawed ‘science’ and mostly way off. Why do we do it? And what can we learn about it in a post-Covid world for consumers?

28 July 2021
Kevin Chesters & Mick Mahoney believe you can be whoever or whatever you want to be in this life - but you are being held back by a conspiracy. A combination of biology (simple human traits) and sociology (societal conventions) is stopping us all from being the person we know we could be. This book is designed to overcome our natural programming and the straight jacket of society, so we can release our inner creative potential. It’s not hard. It just takes a few small nudges.
