Course Overview
Data on personal and professional identity is abundant; insight about it is not. People decide what professional identity really means by watching who gets promoted. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this part of people management and development. Participants apply personal and professional identity to their own workforce throughout, so the output is directly usable. The version of the people management and development discipline described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Across sectors, teams that rehearse professional identity outperform teams that only plan it. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about personal and professional identity under scrutiny. The course sets out a working method for professional identity that participants can apply the week they return. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this area of people management and development sustainable.
