Scenario
You have recently taken up the role of Learning and Development Manager at Highgate Opticals who are a medium-sized company that manufacture designer eyewear. They are experiencing rapid growth due to an increase in their customer base and are aware that they now need a strategic formalised learning and development plan to support the business.
During your first meeting with the board, you ask why on reviewing the company’s performance and development records there is an absence of any leadership and management development. Further discussion reveals that the focus of the company has always been on developing the core workforce and that the majority of the line and senior managers have been promoted from within. Therefore, they have not felt a need to develop the management team.
Throughout the remainder of the meeting, they are extremely receptive to your ideas and welcome insight and understanding of this area of learning. They ask you to prepare a report to enlighten them.
To achieve this, you are required to produce a report that consists of two sections. You should provide a written response to each point in each section, making appropriate use of academic theory and practical examples to expand your response and illustrate key points.
To help the reader, please use headings and assessment criteria references to signpost the assessment criteria being addressed. Please refer to word count policy.
