PROJECT
CYCLE
PPDA’s Project Management is the process and activity of planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling,
resources, procedures and protocols to achieve specific goals of the client. A project is a temporary endeavour
designed to produce a unique product, service or result with a defined beginning and end (usually time-
constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables) undertaken to meet the goals and objectives of the
client , typically to bring about beneficial change or added value. This approach of a project is to achieve all of the
project goals and objectives while honouring the preconceived constraints. The primary objectives to be achieved
are a balance between scope, time, quality and budget. The secondary objectives and more ambitious is to
optimize the allocation of necessary inputs and integrate them to meet pre-defined objectives.

Eight Dimensional Profiling
Development of an Eight Dimensional Profile for Adults: Your personal thinking preferences influence your
communication, decision-making, problem solving and management styles. Understanding your thinking
style preferences gives you a new perspective of yourself and others you interact with every day.
• Development of a Skill Profile
This Instrument identifies an individual's skills. You may have acquired skills in a particular area that is not really
indicative of your brain preference or you may have a very strong preference in one area, but have never had the
opportunity to develop the necessary skills. It could happen that your skills profile differs from your preference
profile. The most common reason for this happening is that preferring ("liking") something does not automatically
mean you have the skills to execute or implement the preference. You may like singing but do not have any
singing skills.
The opposite is also sometimes true. A person may have excellent skills for accounting but has little or no
preference for doing the work of an accountant. It would be very difficult to sustain passion and energy, if the
correlation between the preference profile and skills profile is low.
• Development of a Personal Negativity Profile
The Personal Negativity Instrument will give you a greater insight into your negative thinking. It identifies the
processes most likely to cause your negativity which can block your happiness and success.
Your standard Adult Profile (measuring your thinking preferences) and your Personal Negativity Profile will not look
the same. In fact, you will often have a high negativity score in a quadrant where you have low brain preferences.
For example, you may have low brain preferences for detail, organisation and structure (the L2 quadrant). When
working in an environment where these processes receive strong emphasis, you may experience high negativity
towards these processes and therefore have a high negativity score in this quadrant.
• Development of a Whole-brain Profile for Students and Children
These are instruments which measure your thinking preferences as a student. Why is it that some students prefer
a quiet environment whilst others seem to work well with loud music and a messy workplace? Why are some
students keen on Maths and Science whilst others prefer the Arts and Humanities? Subject choices at school –
and a career choice a little later – are key decisions for EVERY student! Making the wrong choices can often lead
to poor performance and years of frustration for the student, the teachers and of course the parents. Making an
informed decision on the other hand can lead to a lot of satisfaction and achievement as a student as well as an
interesting and rewarding career.
Because subject and career choices are so important for future success and happiness, the Senior Student
Instruments are offered at a special subsidised rate!

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
PPDA has developed an Integrated Development Model (IDM) that is based on the critical foundation of ensuring
that certain human resource and development strategies support the strategic objectives of the company. If any of
these strategies or functions are not aligned with the strategic objectives of the company, it will mean that the
company may not achieve its vision.
Key features
• The Integrated Development Model (IDM) provides a standard for assessing existing strategies and functions;
• It is a tool that can be used to conduct a needs analysis on any strategy or function;
• The IDM is based on the South African environment. It has been designed by experts with in-depth
knowledge of the South African environment; and
• The IDM is flexible, and can easily be customized to the point where only a part of the model is used for
further development.
The IDM aligns the following strategies or functions with the strategic objectives of the company:
• Functional assessment of business process;
• Development of competency and whole brain preference profiles;
• Development of career paths;
• Development of learning paths;
• Development of a curriculum;
• Development of a mentorship and coaching process;
• Development of recognition of prior learning system; and
• Development of training programmes.
The Integrated Development Model provides the basis for the:
Functional assessment of business process, which involves identifying of tasks, activities, job descriptions, career
paths, learning paths and competency profiles are in line with the strategic objectives of the company. The critical
part of the process is identifying duplications in activities and tasks.
Development of competency profiles and whole brain preference profiles – this is the development of competencies
for a specific job category that is in line with the strategic objectives of the company. It identifies the tasks and
activities for a specific job category. The whole brain preference profile determines the ideal person for the job
category.
Development of learning paths – this is the development of a learning path parallel with the career path for a
specific job. This outlines the development areas for a person in a specific job category.
Development of a curriculum outlining the outcomes for the development, type of development and time frames.
The curriculum identifies the levels of development in line with the National Qualifications Framework.
Development of a mentorship and coaching process, involving the development of a process that must be
embedded in policy and accepted by management. For any mentorship and coaching programme to be
successful, it is imperative to develop a process model that is in line with organizational structure of the company.

12. COMPETENCY PROFILING
Job analysis and competency profiling is an easy understandable process that integrates several Human Resource
activities to ensure synergy between these activities during the development process. This integrated process will
enable you to develop profiles that link with the following activities:
• Developing an organisational structure;
• Restructuring of the company;
• Determine the duplication of task and activities;
• Competencies required for a specific job;
• Knowledge, skills and attributes;
• Career paths;
• Learning paths;
• Training and development; and
• Thinking processes.
The benefits of job analysis and competency profiling:
• Job analysis and competency profiling provide a means of establishing a process of communication
between different departments;
• The process ensures that all the development activities are integrated in one single process;
• Whilst the emphasis is on the organisational development processes, finding the right
individual for a specific job and the matching of the organisational requirements with the skills of the
individual as equally important; and
• The duplication of tasks and activities can be identified thus saving the company a considerable amount
of money.
