Prepare for the Development Conversation

Correct! It’s time for Taylor to initiate the first stage of development planning, which is to prepare for the development conversation.

Steps

  • Use the Development Planning Checklist for guidance in completing the Development Planning Discussion Guide.
  • CSL has adopted the GROW model to outline Goals, assess current Reality, explore Options, and map a Way forward.
    • Taylor’s goal is to move into supply chain.
    • His reality is that he has limited experience in supply chain and in managing people.
    • His options include either making a vertical move within engineering or pursuing a vertical move in supply chain.
    • His way forward is developing skills to move toward that vertical move.
  • Taylor should complete the Development Planning Discussion Guide to help shape development discussions and plans, including identifying skill sets he wants to focus on developing, such as the following:
    • Economics and market dynamics
    • Flexibility
    • Project management
    • Collaboration
    • APICS CSCP certification
    • ASCM supply chain certificates
  • Determine key points for the discussion with his people leader.
