Assignment No. & Title 1 of 1– Personal and Professional Development
Context
It will have become evident to you from your time as a student, from your experience in employment and
indeed from life in general that personal and professional development is on-going. An important aspect
of this is making progress, fulfilling your potential and achieving success in life.
In order to take this forward you have decided to produce a learning log which will consider theory and
capture your plans and progress in relation to future career progression. You must carry out a number of
tasks:
Task 1
In the first section of the log you wish to understand how self-managed learning can enhance lifelong
development.
• Evaluate approaches to self-managed learning
• Evaluate the benefits of self-managed learning to the individual and organisation.
This provides evidence for LO1 AC 1.1, 1.3
Task 2 :
Before completing the second section of the log you must carry out some research relating to the role and
industry sector, where you are interested in progressing your career. This research will provide
information on likely professional standards which you can benchmark yourself against and the
organisational objectives of the business. You must state these in the log. Using this information:
• Evaluate your own current skills and competencies against professional standards and
organisational objectives
• Identify own development needs and the activities required to meet them
• Devise a personal and professional development plan with clear aims and objectives and
timescales based on identified needs
• Discuss the processes and activities required to implement the development plan including
effective time management strategies.
This provides evidence for LO2, AC 2.1, 2.2, 2.4, 3.1, 4.3

4. Task 3
The next section of the log should be produced as a detailed record of progress against your plan. You
should:
• Undertake and document the development activities as planned
• Reflect critically on your own learning against the original aims and objectives set in the development
plan
• Evaluate the time management strategies used
• Update the development plan based on feedback and evaluation.
This provides evidence for LO3, AC 3.2, 3.3, 3.42, 4.3
Task 4
In the log you wish to demonstrate some of the interpersonal and transferable skills you have acquired.
• Using the information provided below you should select solutions to these typical work based
problems.
o A conflict has developed at a personal level between members of a team which are
delivering an important project for the business.
o A manager is concerned about the poor time keeping of a junior manager who directly
reports to her. This is both arrival times and the late delivery of completed work.
o There is poor liaison between the front and back offices of the organisation and this is
leading to poor customer service, with billing and customer complaints.
• Using the information provided below you should develop communications in the appropriate
style and manner.
o A manager has received an email from a customer complaining that the goods
received were damaged. This was discovered by the customer after the delivery van
had departed.
o A manager wishes to inform her team about a training day for them which details all
of the relevant information.
o A manager wishes to make a formal presentation for the introduction to a session on
personal development planning.
This provides evidence for LO4, AC 4.1, 4.2
Task 5
In the final section of the log you should reflect on all the work completed to date and:
• Propose ways in which lifelong learning in professional and personal contexts could be
encouraged
• Identify development opportunities to meet current and future defined needs
This provides evidence for LO4, AC 4.1, 4.2
