Strategize personal development

By inspecting the combination of:

• Role profiles

• Performance review results

• Expertise mapping

you should be able to create individualized personal development strategies that clarify how to get someone to a given goal akin to "Became a senior salesperson" i.e. learn this, demonstrate that, experience that and so on.

Like any other stream of work, personal development can be managed with tickets (tasks to do to achieve a goal).

Think in terms of craftsmanship

Irrespective of the discipline under consideration, the craftsmanship model of career development is useful because it focuses on what someone can do, not what there title is.

Essentially, we should all start as apprentices. Then we become journeymen. Eventually, we can choose to become master craftsmen, or diverge into some variation such leadership, sales, marketing but utilizing the foundational competence of building something.
