Personal Development Programmes (PDPs)

In today's leaner organisations, driven by constant change and the pressure to succeed, the demands placed on those who make it to the top are wide-ranging and intense. This often results in directors, managers, senior professionals and staff needing to acquire new skills and understanding quickly, just when the time available for this development is diminishing.

PDPs are designed to match the competencies of the management team and key staff with the needs of the business. By careful assessment of the individuals involved, linked with analysis of the business plan and each person's part in it, we aim to create PDPs that deliver comprehensive performance improvement throughout all areas of the business.

Essential constituents in assuring the success of any Personal Development Initiative includes:

The Board must be fully committed to the project
The Board must take ownership of the process and commit sufficient resources to it
Each individual must buy into and take responsibility for his/her own personal development
Everyone must realise that skill development is a continuous process

PDPs can be developed for staff at all levels in an organisation, although the emphasis is usually at director, manager and senior professional level. The complexity, timescales and associated costs, therefore, vary accordingly.
