Personal Development-Level 1: A 20/20 MDS® Workshop Kit
Continuous professional development (CPD) is becoming more widespread in the last 10 years than at any time in the last 50, and will continue to do so in the new millennium thanks to a number of related movements:
- The growing support for attempts to create 'learning organizations', reflected in initiatives such as Investors in People
- The decision of the majority of professional bodies which requires evidence of continuous professional development before members are upgraded
- New Vocational Qualification systems which require people to produce evidence of their competence at work
- The growth of new technology which makes self directed learning more feasible. Compact disk technology has increased the opportunities already offered by computer, video and text based self-study packages.
All this means that it has become particularly important that managers be concerned about self development. This module guides you through a process of identifying needs, planning, implementing, reviewing and evaluating your personal development.
