The future of our professional work - call to action
May 2020
 |
The Task Force on FIG Governance was installed at the General
Assembly in 2019 to look into possible amendments and changes in
the FIG Statutes and Internal Rules. A questionnaire and
consultation took place virtually during 2nd half of 2019.
Based on the results from the first round of consultations,
several consultations with FIG members were planned during the
FIG Working Week and General Assembly 2020, but due to the
COVID-19 cancellation of the event, these consultations did not
take place.
We are now asking you for your active participation.

As part of the Governance Task Force consultation with FIG members in
2019, they were asked for their ideas, comments and considered view of
the changing professional landscape, i.e. the future trends and impacts
on our professional work.
The responses are overviewed in a
The purpose of requesting this is to use member’s insights for three
reasons:
- First and for the purposes of the task force remit, it creates a
shared understanding of the future currently faced by our
profession.
- Second, it may be used by member associations (MA’s) to promote
consideration of what their individual members require of their own
organisations given the future work landscape
- Finally, it provides a basis for FIG to facilitate a wider
discussion between all FIG members
It is hoped that members will find this piece thought provoking and
encourages you to lead your own members down a path of scenario
engagement.
Above all, the Task Force is issuing to our members, a ‘Call
to Action’: You are encouraged to share with us your own
thinking and your own Member Association’s material of the Future of our
Professional Work
Do let us know and this may be uploaded to the task force web site at
the end of June 2020.
Please send your material and thoughts to Louise Friis-Hansen before
26 June 2020
See all documents, reports and progress updates on the
Task Force web site - here you will find update reports, results
from questionnaire and Frequently Asked Questions.
