...Running head: CAREER DEVELOPMENT PLAN PART I - JOB ANALYSIS AND Career Development Plan Part I - Job Analysis and Selection As a result of the current merger, the organization has taken a new direction. With this change, the opportunity to grow and develop a new team had become available. The creation of this team will require a structured development plan and defined processes to follow. Developing a job analysis will require a combination of a summary of task requirements and resource or people, requirements. Defining and documenting the workforce planning system will provide an efficient method to meet the demand on providing qualified resources to fulfill business needs. Part of the process that will be taken into consideration will be the Selection method and what are the advantages and disadvantages to the methods that will be used. These development plans will provide the foundation necessary to identify several key employees to fit the needs of the new team. As part of the creation process of the new team a job analysis will provide the required information to progress in defining what it is we need. The job analysis is a process to identify and determine in detail the particular job duties and requirements and the relative importance of these duties for a given job (hr-guide.com, n.d.).

...mentioned that, notwithstanding general agreement among development planners and practitioners about the crucial role that science has to play in development, many lacked a common understanding of its nature or the ways in which it can contribute to the wellbeing of the masses of humanity. As the discourse evolved over several years, many of these misconceptions were brought to light. Some of them are as follows: First, the practice of science is all too often reduced to the mere application of technology. What is lost sight of is the fact that science is a system of knowledge and practice that provides the methods and tools for the systematic and structured exploration of material and social reality. By asking questions about reality and seeking to answer them through a process of action, reflection and consultation, a population acquires the capacity to take charge of its own development and to promote the advancement of civilization. Due to the existing misrepresentation of the role of science in development, attention is focused on making people passive consumers of technology rather than on building their scientific capacity. Development Development as a concept is a victim of definitional pluralism. It is a difficult word to define. However, attempts have been made by erudite scholars to conceptualize development. Some of these definitions will be explored for the purpose of this study. Gboyega (2003) captures development as an idea that embodies all attempts to improve...

...Individual Development Planning Procedures Increasing Importance of Development Planning The continuous improvement of job skills is critical. The challenges we face on the job, as well as in the general business environment, are constantly changing. In addition, fundamental changes in the technical industry will continue to accelerate. It does not take long for skills and knowledge to become outdated in this fast-changing world. “Finishing” one’s education is no longer realistic. One effective technique for focusing these development efforts is the use of Individual Development Planning, IDPs. What is development planning? Development planning is an ongoing, evolutionary process rather than a single event. In brief, development planning involves supervisors and employees discussing the work they are doing and documenting strategies to help the employee develop and grow. Achieving this goal requires a team effort. A Shared Commitment Development planning is a responsibility to be shared by the employee and the supervisor. Effective development requires mutual commitment, support, and cooperation from each of these parties. Employees are accountable for showing initiative and actively pursing development options. Supervisors are accountable for establishing the learning environment. Commitment of Employees The most important ingredient in successful skill development is the employee’s own personal accountability. Employees are expected...

...Business Development Planning What is Business Development The role of “Business Development” is a mix between a pure “sales” role and that of a Public Relations Officer and a Key Client Manager.

The sales budget can be developed top down (last years results plus anticipated changes) or developed bottom up by the sales department (identifying this years opportunities). There are a number of ways to achieve increased sales targets: increase sales from existing customers find new customers for your product increase cross-selling ie existing customers take a wider range of products launch a new product (or product extension) to new and existing clients.

...Spring 2002 Harry Trout - Texas State Agency - Spring 2002 Introduction The development of leadership is a continuous process as an individual gains experiences, assumes greater levels of responsibility, and faces a growing complexity of organizational problem solving demands. The 360 degree feedback assists in this development through two fundamental objectives. The first objective is on an individual level. For the individual, the process provides leaders with unique data perspectives of their abilities as viewed by their peers, subordinates, those in supervisory roles, and self-examination. The best use of these data for individuals is to design a personal development plan to address areas of concern surfaced through the assessment. The second objective is to improve overall organizational performance. As an organization’s leaders develop their abilities to work, manage, and lead, the performance and attitudes of corresponding workgroups will improve. Therefore, the entire organization stands to benefit as individuals improve. To assist you in this process, your personalized 360 Feedback Report contains the following elements: This Introduction to the 360 Explanation of 360 Leadership Roles Interpretation of the 360 Data Your Overall 360 Profile Role Comparison Scores and Item Score Breakdown Open Ended Question Listing Appendix A - All Scores Summary Appendix B - Personal Development Planning 360 Leadership Roles Communicator Leader Manager Facilitator Professional...

What is a Personal Development Plan(PDP)? 2. Why Should I have one? 3. How can I write one to reflect my own aspirations? The answers are straightforward…… 1. What is a Personal Development Plan(PDP)? A PDP is just another name for a plan of action, only this one refers specifically to your aspirations regarding personal development.

An action plan will help you to visualise what you are doing and keep track of your achievements. To be totally effective, it must be a fluid document that is reviewed at regular intervals to ensure that it is always accurate, relevant and realistic. Furthermore, certain courses may be eligible for financial assistance, such as the SLC and ELC. In order to qualify for these allowances, you will have to prove your commitment to your studies. You must have a PDP in order to claim the ELC, in accordance with the ELC DCI. Remember, the PDP is your personal document, but with your permission it is recommended that a copy be held in your Personal Educational Folder, the F7269. Access to this will be restricted...

"Lenski says some clients find their niche first by focusing on the areas in which they already have a strong interest, or by looking at markets that already know about you and your services. Then, look for areas of the marketplace where a gaping need exists that you can fill with your company's services(Donnelly, 2011)."
