Reports on the experiences of 14 employers using personal development plans. Finds that employers hope for different things, some want cost effectiveness, others to forge a new deal on development and others to develop a more autonomous workforce. In practice personal development plans (PDPs) are resource intensive but do seem to get individuals to own their own careers and become more autonomous. The means by which they are created can also have a significant effect. Suggests learning points for organizations considering the implementation of PDPs.","PeriodicalId":340539,"journal":{"name":"Management Development Review","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134182192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Contrasts the “inclusive” collaborative approach of best practice and the core skills and attitudes which underpin it. Considers that widespread neglect of the culture issue is the reason why so many management and training initiatives intended to increase efficiency, quality and innovation, are unsuccessful. Discusses the key role of top management in achieving best practice and points to an inclusive “genuine team” management and training method which can be integrated effectively into day‐to‐day activities in the workplace. Indicates a strategy for initiating and managing radical ‐ yet cost‐effective culture change necessary for removing the barriers to world‐class performance.","PeriodicalId":340539,"journal":{"name":"Management Development Review","volume":"231 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122156139","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet few, if any, writers on the subject define what they mean by change. It is assumed that all change is the same. Sets out to correct this omission in the literature by describing first two, and then three, types of change with the aim of clarifying what managers and other professionals concerned with this subject need to take into account when planning a change intervention. Without proper understanding of the type of change that is being planned, poor diagnosis and inadequate formulation and implementation will result. Finally, implications for organizations are spelt out and a distinction between changes and transitions is made, which, it is hoped, will enable managers to understand some of the frustrations about change when things do not go as planned.","PeriodicalId":340539,"journal":{"name":"Management Development Review","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122616087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
