Improve Outcomes With Individual
Development Follow-Through
The Opportunity
Executives, leaders, and managers frequently create Individual Development
Plans to identify, develop, and improve specific competencies. This
process, which often includes 360 degree evaluation and feedback,
does an effective job of identifying issues and raising awareness.
However, it rarely includes any formal process to support follow-through
on the resulting personal development goals and objectives set in
the Individual Development Plans.
The Solution
The fastest and most effective way to improve outcomes and return
on investment from development planning initiatives is to actively
support and manage the follow-through process. DevelopmentEngine®,
designed to work seamlessly with The Leadership
Circle Profile and the The Leadership
Circle Profile workshops, provides a web-based support system
for the individual combined with a manager and/or coach’s
communication link to facilitate asynchronous coaching and feedback.
DevelopmentEngine® is powered by Fort Hill.
