To Advance Your Career You Should Have a Personal Development Plan – IDP

Developing management capacity for managers is not an overnight story, but requires clearly outlined goals and roadmap to implement it. Understanding that, large domestic and foreign enterprises and corporations are now applying the Individual Development Plan (IDP) to become one of the important strategies to develop the management team. .

What is an Individual Development Plan (IDP)?

Personal Development Plan (IDP) is a personal development plan based on goals, SWOT analysis to clarify opportunities and roadmap to get to the destination. IDP helps you identify your knowledge, skills and abilities, and then see your shortcomings to strengthen and develop yourself. At the same time, IDP is also used to assess the level of goal completion through the setting of long-term and short-term goals.

Why IDP Matters

Today, IDP is considered a WIN – WIN strategy  that brings benefits to both management and organizations:

Managers benefit because implementing IDP helps them to recognize, practice and enhance their knowledge, skills and experience. Through IDP, their personal competencies will be improved and help managers achieve their professional goals and personal expectations.
Enterprises use management’s IDP to develop a development roadmap to improve employees’ capabilities as well as understand their needs, desires and goals. Using IDP to localize and develop the performance of potential employees will help businesses operate more efficiently.

How To Build Effective IDPs?
Develop a Personal Development Plan – IDP is not something you can do alone. In fact, IDP people need the help of direct senior managers, company leaders, team members, companions, mentors and experts to monitor and evaluate IDP as well as the performance that accomplishes your goals. Basically, the IDP Plan is considered a document, summarizing an employee’s career, roadmap and career goals.
