Individual development plans (IDPs) are often misunderstood and not effectively implemented. They are viewed as a list of training courses rather than a plan for developing capabilities needed for success. This leads to a lack of investment and perceived payoff. The document recommends reframing IDPs around developing skills needed for job success and tying them to career advancement. It suggests using a "business fitness" metaphor and making employees responsible for driving their own growth through relevant, accountable plans supported by supervisors.
