As consultants we often shy away from discussing the big issues in public. Sometimes from fear of triggering conflict; sometimes because when you shout that the “Emperor is wearing no clothes”, no-one else is ready to join in yet!

But for once we thought it would be good to tell you what we think and hope that in return you take the time to tell us what you think. We find that debating things helps us to understand them more deeply – and generates energy for action. So in 'ATM talking points', eight of our most senior consultants share their views on hot topics affecting ANSPs and tell you what is on their mind.
