...Individual Development Planning Procedures Increasing Importance of Development Planning The continuous improvement of job skills is critical. The challenges we face on the job, as well as in the general business environment, are constantly changing. In addition, fundamental changes in the technical industry will continue to accelerate. It does not take long for skills and knowledge to become outdated in this fast-changing world. “Finishing” one’s education is no longer realistic. One effective technique for focusing these development efforts is the use of Individual Development Planning, IDPs. What is development planning? Development planning is an ongoing, evolutionary process rather than a single event. In brief, development planning involves supervisors and employees discussing the work they are doing and documenting strategies to help the employee develop and grow. Achieving this goal requires a team effort. A Shared Commitment Development planning is a responsibility to be shared by the employee and the supervisor.

...you to develop your own customized Individual Communication Development Plan (“ICDP”). Although writing instructors, tutors, assignments, and models can help you improve, you simply must take responsibility for your own writing and speaking progress. I will assess, critique, mark up, and grade your papers and presentations, but unless you commit to your own personalized self-development plan, progress will likely be slow at best, particularly given the time pressures while you are in this program. Some of you may already be familiar with the Individual Development Plan (IDP), which is typically a statement of career goals and a plan for how to achieve those goals. See, for example, the Department of Defense’s Individual Development Plan (General Guidelines for Charting your Career Path) at http://www.usuhs.mil/chr/idp.pdf, which is actually my inspiration for Assignment #3. Key to this and other similar approaches is that individuals are empowered to take responsibility for their own self-development. By requiring that you create your own Individual Communication Development Plan, I am encouraging you to manage your own communication development. You should use this Plan to chart your progress throughout the remainder of the program (and beyond). You should frequently revise your ICDP, based on improvement and/or new issues and goals. And you should keep me posted on your development. Here’s another way to think about this plan. Working with your ICDP, I can more...

...with the rise of the Taliban. In 2002, with the fall of the Taliban and the US-led invasion, record numbers of Afghan refugees returned to Afghanistan. An international reconstruction and development initiative began to aid Afghans in rebuilding their country from decades of war. Reports indicate that change is occurring in Afghanistan, but the progress is slow. The Taliban have regained strength in the second half of this decade and insurgency and instability are rising. Afghanistan continues to be challenged by underdevelopment, lack of infrastructure, few employment opportunities, and widespread poverty. The slow pace of change has led Afghans to continue migrating in order to meet the needs of their families. Today refugee movements no longer characterize the primary source of Afghan migration. Migration in search of livelihoods is the primary reasons for migration and occurs through rural-urban migration in Afghanistan or circular migration patterns as Afghans cross into Pakistan and/or Iran. Afghans utilize their social networks to find low-skilled work in the cities or neighboring countries. The highly skilled in Afghanistan often seek to migrate to Western countries, as the opportunities in Afghanistan are limited. Afghans transnational movements have led to the development of the Afghan Diaspora, which has been essential in providing remittances to families in Afghanistan to meet their daily needs....

Sustainable design strategies are being put into practice in hopes of LEED recognition along with environmental greatness. Routes that have been proven a success have used the Integrated Design Process (IDP) to plan and execute a project with maximum sustainable features. IDP is a “Collaborative process that focuses on the design, construction, operation and occupancy of a building over its complete life cycle…The IDP requires a multidisciplinary design team that includes or acquires the skills required to address all design issues flowing from the objectives” (Perkins and Stantec). As summarized in the Roadmap for IDP, the process is comprised of seven different phases; Pre-Design, Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documentation, Bidding & Construction Commissioning, Building Operation, and Post-Occupancy. Based on the type of occupancy, specialized team members are chosen strategically to partake in either all or a few of the phases. The occupancy for question in this case is that of a hotel. For starters, the core team will come together and begin Phase 1 of the IDP. Generally the core team is comprised of the client, architect, landscape architect, mechanical, structural and electrical engineer. However, for a wider scope in perspective, other specialists such as a contractor, building operator, ecology and energy specialist may be present. Arguably, the...
