An analysis of continuing professional development and the requirement for individual and organizational development
Meaning of continuing professional Development
Argandona (2016) mentioned that Continuing Professional Development can be defined as the process of identifying, planning, performing, reviewing and reflecting on the activities. All functions of Continuing professional development are performed to develop the professional skills of the individual and organizational development (Armstrong and Michael, 2011). The following diagram represents that, a person can run the continuing professional development by identifying the key factors for professional development, then making a plan about the continuing professional development and implementing the plan into action.
After that, the person needs to review the actual performance and taking corrective action for the better reflection of continuing professional development (Barney, 2014). Becker and Gerhart (2017) stated that continuing professional development is a continuous process of developing individual and organization skills in respect of the professional activities of a firm. Continuing professional development helps to improve the professional knowledge of employees of the firm on a continuous basis, not a temporary basis (Armstrong and Michael, 2011).
