INTRODUCTIONThe concept of self managed learning is known as the process in which individualsportray various techniques of learning in an organisation or it could also relate to the longterm development in career. It is even about preplanning goals with the process of evaluatingthe main aim of learning and then coming to a process for achieving those aims. A personlearns these things by using various ways that can be altered through culture, behaviour,personality and perceptions (Vetere and et.al., 2016). The paper below is giving a briefdiscussion on the various methods to self managed learning for increasing development byassessing various approaches of its learning and how it is advantageous to the individual aswell as the organisation.
