IDP Prepare Phase

What is Included in this Phase?1. The Individual Development Planning process begins with

planning and preparation.

2. In this phase, you gather information that you will need to draft your development plan.

There are 3 steps in the Prepare phase:1. Assess skill needs

2. Formulate goals

3. Identify development activities

1. Assess Skill Needs

The first step in preparing for your IDP is to evaluate your skills and abilities.

Your IDP generally reflects development needs for your current job position or future career goal. Work with your supervisor to assess your skills and

compare to those needed for your current job. Identify any gaps between current competencies and

those required to perform your job functions.

direction of your organization Prepare yourself for advancement to another position Discuss which areas you should focus on with your

supervisor or coach

2. Formulate Goals

For the skill needs identified in the first step, you will create realistic development goals that you hope to achieve.

For each goal, determine if it is: Short-Range - Goal you plan to achieve within the next year

Mid-Range – Goal you intend to achieve in 2-4 years

Long-Range – Goal you wish to achieve in 5 years and beyond
