up in your career?

2. These days, organisations
change quickly.
As a result, career development
has changed as well.

to drive your career
development is you.
Here’s how.

4. First, establish and
evaluate your goals.
Set your goals for the year with
your manager, and regularly
review them.

about your goals.
And if you’re not getting
the feedback you need – ask!

6. Tackle old and
new challenges.
Even if you’re doing the same
thing every day, have you
considered how you can
do it in a smarter way?

7. Some companies have
a specific development
plan. This is a plan focused
on building a capability.

one, you can always take the
initiative and create your own.

experiences.

informal, immediate feedback;
through structured mentoring
and coaching; or by availing
yourself of communities
and sharing.

up-to-date with industry
