Out of curiousity, how much of your CPD is planned, and how much of it is unplanned?


I'm going through my second attempt at gaining CEng, and have been paying particular attention to my CPD Records for the last couple of years, and putting a Plan in place for the next year(s)


However, as a fairly senior engineer, I find it increasingly difficult to put together any form of meaningful plan, and this is reflected in my CPD of the past. Most "development" is now either reactive to business needs, or responsive to invitations to speak at conferences (etc).


I'm finding it difficult to define a plan for my CPD beyond "Achieve CEng" and "Achieve FIET"
