The evaluation void

Article Abstract:

Continuous improvement requires new challenges and therefore data must be gathered to ensure improvement continues and to discover which interventions have been successful. Management developers need to take on the task of collecting and evaluating data or they are not fulfilling their own performance goals. Failure to carry out such work will result in the value of management developers being undermined and the value of management development will not be recognized. A 1996 report found fewer than 5% of UK firms evaluated interventions by management developers.

Management development in practice

Article Abstract:

The London Stock Exchange's Professional Self Management Programme, which was created in 1989 in response to a need to train and develop high quality employees, is designed to produce managers who will eventually be able to lead a complex organisation with many responsibilities. It allows participants to develop skills applicable to their own job and to increase their contribution to the business aims of the Stock Exchange as a whole. Line managers have been extremely enthusiastic about the scheme, and in some cases guide its direction.
