Great seminar from Ian Northmore – Director of Rhea Consulting (who, unfortunately, did not leave his email address in the powerpoint slide handouts). The key takeaway from the CCAS organized seminar was that Personal development planning is vital to helping teams achieve key performance targets.
While management can not force teams to undergo a personal development plan, they can nevertheless, encourage and foster an atmosphere where continuous learning is part of the culture of the organization.
