The document discusses personal development planning (PDP) and its importance for employability. PDP helps students reflect on their learning and career goals. It develops skills valued by employers like responsibility, self-esteem, and attitude. The document also outlines different approaches institutions take to integrate PDP into the curriculum, from discrete sessions to a fully embedded process. Support for PDP includes employability advisors, online resources, and events connecting students to employers.
Continuing professional development (CPD) involves maintaining and developing knowledge and skills throughout a career. CPD is essential for career progression as it builds confidence, demonstrates achievements, and helps professionals cope with change by constantly updating skills. Effective CPD includes a variety of planned and ad-hoc learning activities with known and unknown outcomes, as well as reflection to apply new learning. Maintaining a comprehensive CPD portfolio that shows reflections on learning and career development goals is important for demonstrating skills to employers.
The PDP Framework is a lesson planning tool that helps teachers deliver effective listening, reading, and video lessons. It is based on research showing that students are more engaged when actively involved before, during, and after consuming content. The framework has three stages: pre-listening/reading preparation, during active listening/reading tasks, and post activities that extend understanding and apply it to other contexts.
The document discusses the importance of maintaining an accurate business case for outsourcing agreements throughout the life of the contract. It notes that assumptions in the original business case will often change during transition and implementation, but the business case is often not updated. This can result in missed savings targets and poorer performance. The document recommends continuously validating assumptions and updating the business case to account for changes in order to maximize the realized benefits of the outsourcing agreement.
Some days it feels like a roller coaster. Even a crystal ball would do little good because things change so fast. With the
power of the internet, we can get the changing pulse of the economy – from around the world and in our backyards – within seconds of something happening; all adding to the sense of what next? I’m like everyone else: seeing, reading and hearing all the economic news and thinking, “What can I do to help?”

Reviewer Comments: Steve has had yet another exceptionally successful year. His days in AR for contract revenue continue to remain at
extremely low levels (he generally obtains payments before they are due). He's spent a great deal of time and effort
training his associate to bring her ‘to the next level’ with exceedingly excellent results. He's also able to negotiate
extremely sensitive and difficult deals that are extremely favorable to Temple despite what appear to be impossible odds
with very problematic institutions. To Steve, it's all about building relationships then getting the deal done on terms that
are in Temple’s best interest -- something that he takes great pride in and does extremely well. It’s his passion. Thank
you Steve, for all that you do. Your tireless and relentless efforts are recognized and very much appreciated!

1. With the drafting, coordination and assistance of Steve's associate Liz, he has been able to concentrate on an increasing number of
diverse, complex and often exceedingly difficult contract negotiations while keeping collections on contracts current. He continues to
work in tandem with contractual parties, TUSM department administrators and Chairs/Chiefs to best address contract terms,
conditions and business . Steve has been able to successfully negotiate both new as well as increased fees despite the tough
economic and competitive environment in the industry, while maximizing new and existing arrangements for additional compensation
whenever possible.
This has taken place despite an ever increasing number of new contracts both within the TU Health System and with external
parties. The acquisition of Fox Chase Cancer Center and the growth of the health system in new endeavors has further added to the
volume of contracts.
2. Steve continues to carefully monitor contract receivables, and has kept any outstanding balances to an absolute minimum. Most
outside parties continue to be exceedingly compliant with adhering to payment terms or if not do so after reminders of their
obligations. In spite of the continuing difficult economic times, there has been no negative impact in cash flow. Steve has been able
to negotiate with most customers to pay for contracted services by the 1st of the then current month to lessen days in A/R and time
spent pursuing delinquent accounts. He meets with little resistance to these enhanced collection terms, and most parties send
payment by the first of the month or shortly thereafter. Steve continues to exert extra pressure every six months to ensure that all
possible contract payments are available for "C" compensation to TUP physicians, while maintaining good working relationships with
his institutional contacts. Steve continues maintaining his relationships to ensure accelerated cash receipts throughout the year. He
takes significant pride in keeping accounts current and continues to handle institutional customers skillfully. The end of year contract

3. receivable is not anticipated to vary much from the exceedingly small prior year balance.
3. Steve manages this aspect of his job very well, and has increasingly utilized Liz to compute fair market calculations for
space agreements. He continues to negotiate difficult space agreements with which required a great deal of finesse, patience, tenacity
and fortitude. Liz has taken on many of these tasks under Steve’s supervision to ensure that Liz grows her skills. Steve continues to
work closely in consort with Liz on matters relating to the Office of Business Services on contractual space matters, and has
established an exceedingly good working relationship with the Director of Real Estate.
4. Steve continues to do a very good job with these agreements. Although they are increasing in number, they are becoming a less
significant portion of his office's activity; more is being handled through his associate Liz and Temple's attorneys. There have however
been some changes in this area including the drafting of a template to make it easier to enter into such agreements in the future. This
fiscal year there were again a good number of new agreements for preceptorships and labs with outside pharma firms and healthcare
equipment suppliers. Steve and Liz worked through these new agreements often with little if any advance notice and extremely tight
deadlines. Many were problematic in regards to compliance with University policies yet needed to be concluded with urgency with
contractual, payment and insurance requirements met by the day of the event.

3. Work to obtain more student support to take on some of Liz's clerical duties.
4. Continue efforts to make the new TU automated contract workflow system function more effective and efficient for TUSM/TUP.
5. Upgrade Liz to an Associate Director role by December 31, 2014.
6. Develop transition plan for Liz and department.

1. Great improvement in regards to achieving this goal. Aside from a good bit of time spent on his day off following
up on matters in progress, Steve has managed to keep his effort to within his scheduled hours. Continue to look
for students to assist Liz. A part time student worker has assisted the office in scanning executed contracts into the network contract
files.
2. Continued steady progress as Liz deals with the increasingly difficult contractual matters extremely well and Steve has consistently
included her in others that are much more demanding in an effort to improve her skills. The training continues most successfully and
Steve includes Liz on a great many conference calls to learn and at times participate and contribute. Exceedingly significant progress
in this training task.
3. No issues in this area. Keeping up with constant change takes time and effort, though it has its positive rewards organizationally.
The contract processing system mandated by Purchasing and TU Office of University Counsel didn’t fit TUSM/TUP's processes, but we
have adapted to and managed well dealing with the University’s electronic contract system. We have centralized the FIS process and
all are input by this Office for the School. A time consuming but necessary additional task we have continue to perform.
4. Steve and Liz have been more on top of renewals than ever using amendments to extend agreements thus cutting down on time
consuming renegotiating of existing contracts. They continue entering into two to three year terms with automatic price increases to
avoid the volume of time wasted with annual renewals. This continues to save time each June when dealing with mass renewals.
6/18/2015
4. 5. Successfully completed.
6. Steve has spent a great deal of time and effort in mentoring Liz both by meetings and by including her on conference calls both as
a listener and more and more as a participant who brings something to the table. He has taken her to a far greater level of expertise,
enhanced her self-confidence and grown her understanding of the negotiating process. The progress has been impressive as has been
her maturing into a greatly enhanced role including taking the lead in space related matters. This has allowed Steve the time to
devote to difficult special projects such as formalizing the relationship with relating to CPPD.
