Course Summary
Individuals will constantly desire change and improvement in any career choice. For most organisations, there are various pathways to gaining more skills, responsibilities, and knowledge in various roles. However, strict planning is required to increase personal standing within an organisation successfully.
Creating personal action plans has proven highly beneficial for individuals attempting to progress through their careers. These plans will initially detail an individual’s current standing and overall goals for the future. Once these are established, the general aims, objectives, and expectations should be identified, as these will be the stepping stones to achieving the final goal.
After creating the personal action plan, it is important to strictly follow it to ensure all deadlines and objectives are being met. However, several factors can influence success. Many opportunities and threats can positively and negatively impact progression, making it crucial to recognise these long before they occur for adequate preparation.
