3.1 Discuss the processes of and required to implement the development plan.

In order for the development plan to be achieved, certain activities that constantly
measure the periodical attainment against the original plans should be undertake. This can
be accomplished by adopting certain strategies. The use of performance appraisal is
essential in measuring the achieved development (Sangster, 2000, p. 134). The method
involves the close comparison of the resulting performance against the training programs.
The method will help me in gauging my performance results against the initial development
plan. If the performance gives a replication of the original development plan, it signifies
success in the adopted mechanisms. For example, in the case of original development plan
that is aimed at the achievement of skills in customer services, periodic appraisals will be
conducted to help in measuring the level of customers satisfaction. This will make sure that
the desired results are attained in certain durations of time.
Gap analysis will also be critical in the implementation of the development plan. This
involves the measurement of the gap that exists between the required skills and the acquired
skills with regards to the development plan. Training programs and other mechanisms will be
on ducted based on the existing gap. In the event of poor decision making skills, the skills
training programs that will be adopted will mainly focus on decision making skills. Those
existing expertise will not be considered for the training procedures. In the case of
communication or customer care, training and continuous appraisal will be done to ensure
effectiveness. Some of these desired skills and traits are more or less intrinsic, and result
from an internal willingness and effort to accomplish them. This implies that the decision
making, problem solving and the ability to always ensure a proper time management routine
require the use of personal plan in order to be achieved. Therefore, it is more appropriate if it
is cultivated through consistent practice and training.

Methods for implementing personal development plan. A wide range of methods were
incorporated to ensure the attainment of the original development plan. In an attempt to
ensure the achievement of professional skills in management, intern opportunities played a
critical role apart from the training programs. Through the interns, I realized my areas of
weakness and strengths that influenced my professional quest. The programs offered me
the platform for enhancing my skills in various management positions. Besides, gap analysis
is easily undertaken during the internship as the expectations of the market are efficiently
determined by the programs undertaken during that period (Throop & Castelluci 2009, p.
72).

3.2 Undertake and document development activities as planned.

The actual Prepared development actions are because stick to:


Training the employees: The actual staffs are educated using a task dependent work and
punctually time frame. With the education they have discovered completely new techniques
and using the sources they have discovered to be able to adapt to the revolutionary thoughts
quickly.
Organizing the study groups: The actual staffs are split in to research communities. The
actual staffs doing work in the same sector is in the same collection so they can work on
their particular professional areas jointly.
Mentoring and Supervising: The actual staff are mentored and administered by the
administrators plus the brand administrators. They've kept very good face for the staff to
determine their particular advancement on their own so when friends.
Consultation: Soon after each and every collection undertaking is performed the staff receive
discussion off their brand administrators regarding their particular effectiveness and what
they have to perform enhance their particular pace and accuracy.

3.3 Reflect critically on your own learning against original aims and objectives set in
the development plan.

The aims and the objectives are essential for the personal development and also these
important factors will accomplish the individual organizational performance as well. The
interpersonal skills like problem solving, communication, and time management has been
deliberated. Communication is very operative today and shows a significant role in our life.
Different communication style is used at different levels. Time management helps to manage
time effectively and build on it. So, this will make the aims and the objectives of the
development plan as well (Williamson, 2009).
An objective is a sub-goal. It gives an distinct a clear distinct target. It knows short-term,
quantifiable steps within a specific phase of time touching towards accomplishing long-term
goals. There are two different objectives that are Short term and Long term. Short-term

objectives are made to achieve in 2 years whereas long- term objectives are prepared to
achieve in 5 years.
An evaluation should include a critical analysis of what went well and not so well. This
should be a collected description that comprises negatives as well as positives. Evaluations
can contain advantages and disadvantages. Elements of justification can also be included
within any descriptive text.
Dormann , (2002) defined that there are a number of areas of feedback that could cover
within the evaluative explanations that will add to development plan evaluation, including:
what abilities have been improved and how evidence of what skill levels have been talented
and how feedback from colleagues and line managers feedback from events attended as
part of the development activity classifying within a qualification achievement.
Future personal development plan is the way that individual such as draw up a plan that will
help in future prospective personally and professionally. Professional forms try to encourage
continuing updating their record for professional and development for the purpose of
maintaining registering or professional status that organization prefers for future
development. Developing Curriculum vitae, this is my first stage of meaningful where I have
extended in terms of my education and skills that need to be established more, short-term
objective, I have set out my action plan with the dates inspecting what I want to attain in five
year time from now.
In future, the time frame, will be consuming my professional development time frame from
the time I will continue my career till the time I am planning to reach and attending various
learning programs that will help me develop personally and professionally (Owen, 2001).

3.4 Update the development plan based on feedback and evaluation.


This is about reflecting on and evaluating honestly your own performance, and discovering
ways to improve it through skills development. This requires you to work with others to
identify your strengths and weaknesses, find out what information and support is available to
help you develop a plan covering your personal and professional aspirations, and then put
those plans into action.
You must make sure that your practice meets the following requirements.
- Monitor your performance regularly to make sure that it is as effective as possible.
- Get regular and useful feedback on your performance.
- Regularly describe and analyse any improvements that need to be made, either by you or

through involving others.


- Maintain a level of knowledge and understanding that enables you to carry out your role
effectively.
- Change the way you work in line with any relevant or new approaches or
recommendations.
- Use feedback from clients, contacts or colleagues to identify any skills gaps.
- Develop a personal development plan and update it regularly to include new aims or
achievements.
Take continuous review from personal point of view and reflections some point should be
considered such as "how do you feel that research is going?, is existing methodology is
perfect for the research, or need to be change?, is the aims and objectives need to be
change in the coming time". We also need to measure what is most satisfactory level with
the research and what was the most significant achievement and why.
What you improved and what you need to improve, and how is the relationship with others
team members. After reviewing and analysis, further we need to make some plan to do the
things right way. We need to do the Planning.
Planning: We need to think about and make a plan action to achieve the goals and research
development plan. A clean and good beginning is to define the goals and objectives, and
make sure you have the resources and time to complete them. Defining the goals which help
you to know what is going to do and what are the expected results. While work with your
research and goals gather all the information and knowledge and new skills and make a
review document. It is very important to review such goals which we already achieved by
doing this we may research further what still we need to improve or get the better results.
Reviewing: If we spend some time to reviewing the achieved goals, it will help to understand
more about ourselves and be in position to enhance your personal and professional
development. This will also help us to give a clear picture of what we want to achieve? And
what did we achieved. What we build on strengths and what we improved our weaknesses.
