The developmental plan form at Old Dominion University is representative of a good start toward an optimal format. It does contain three essential sections for an effective plan; however it is missing some imperative components in those areas. Additionally, it is devoid of other key elements. As is the case in many situations of need, it is easier to remedy an existing product than it is to completely invent something new. Innovation is typically faster, simpler and more readily accepted than creation (Barker, 2009). Therefore, this paper will address the current development form as a place to begin an innovative improvement to it rather than discarding it and starting anew.
In each of the existing areas, there should be a section that will allow the completer of the form to indicate what the timeframe is to accomplish the stated goal or steps toward that goal. The timeframe should include precise specificity as to the completion date as well as any interim measures or dates that would be appropriate. Further, there should also be the opportunity to list available resources to use or reference while acting toward the accomplishment of the goal. Resources could include other staff either inside or outside the organization, books, tapes or literature that is available, mentoring and/or coaching opportunities, additional educational prospects and/or on-the-job training and job rotation scenarios (Aguinis, 2009).
The first innovation to the form would be a delineation of each existing section into two separate sections. The first section would center on the current job and one’s performance against objectives and the second section would focus on future prospects. Further clarification is that one section would sust...

In conclusion, the existing development form is a good fundamental product that, with an effort on continuous improvement, would become a more productive and more favorable product.

Strategic planning is crucial for the success of all business endeavors. Analyzing currents trends in technology, consumer markets, competition, and the workforce can play a pivotal part in whether or not the organization can survive. Overtime, strategic planning strategies must be modified in order to compensate for changes in the industry. Goals and strategic planning often necessitate change to ensure that the organization is performing at peak level, while offering the most beneficial and quality services to consumers.
Finally, time-bound is a time-restraint you establish to complete the specific goal. Furthermore, there is a section for intention, or in other words, the long-term goal (Tatt, 2012). By filling out this worksheet, I was able to first state my intention and then break it down further into smaller, specific goals that would eventually lead up to the final picture. By choosing just one specific goal at a time and achieving that success, it becomes much easier to complete your overall dream.... ... middle of paper ...
A job analysis a great way to analyzed whether or not the individual is fit for the position. By creating a questionnaire that relates to the daily tasks for the position will narrow done the selection process into a smaller portion. The information given from the Job Analysis is also used to create a Job Description and Job Specification. “Job description identifies the tasks, duties, and responsibilities. The “job specification list the KSAOCs that individuals need to posses to perform a job successfully”(Pynes, 2013). After an individual is hired we must train that individual with the proper format in order for them to understand the concept of work. In this process I will develop a training program that includes all the organizations policies, procedures and daily tasks.
Upon receiving notice to layoff and redesign job descriptions of employees, specific areas were reviewed in order to make a decision that would provide the best outcome for the company. These areas included job performance, productivity, special achievements, job responsibility, educational qualifications, absenteeism and status.
Professional Development Plan Entering into higher education and professional advancement, I have reflected on my educational background, nursing career opportunities, and future goals. Development of a plan will assist with navigating through a pathway of advanced practice training. According to Johnson (2012), the benefit of a professional development plan and portfolio can help individuals organize, present, and reflect on their personal and professional accomplishments. This presentation and summarization were the first step in mapping out my course to success.
The employment goal must relate to the students interests, course of study, and transition assessments.
I will start by explaining the methods that make it easier for me to know my characters and skills. The first method is self-knowledge (McBride, 2010). Self-knowledge is “knowledge or understanding of one 's own capabilities, character, feelings, or motivations” (Merriam Webster, 2015). I believe the foundational element in achieving my personal and professional success is being knowledgeable about myself. Self-development starts with self-understanding. When the individuals recognize their own personality, social and emotional intelligence, strengths and abilities, it makes easy to improve their performance, address the gaps in their competencies and build around their strengths (Fallon, Begun & Riley, 2013). Self-knowledge is the way that assists me in scrutinizing my behaviors and attitudes and being more recognizable about my strengths and weaknesses traits.
The purpose of the new system that I will develop is to improve on the

The second approach of the Top-Down is identified as Job Enlargement. First used in the 1940s as a complaint of work done through the usage of the Scientific Management. This approach involves adding variety to the different jobs by combining specialized tasks with a hint of difficulty. Job Enlargement should work as an addition to other motivational methods, because by itself it has no positive effect on job performance.
Name everything from who is involved to what, where, when and why you want to accomplish the goal. Your goal must be clear and well defined. Generalized goals are unhelpful because they don’t provide sufficient direction. Remember, you need the goals to show you the way.
