Introduction The business environment in the modern times is at the verge of modification and change in adramatic way. The indulgence of complexities in market situations and circumstances areadvancing from time to time. The role of managers and marketers are eventually exposed underhigh pressure, which requires core attention to keep the market position stable. The idea ofpersonal and professional development plays a key role in this scenario. An establishedorganisation of the United Kingdom, Sainsbury is selected in order to justify the importance ofpersonal and professional development. The personal and professional development is a two waycontributing process where the organisation and the employee indulges into a continuouslearning process, in order to meet the required target. TASK 1LO1. 1.1 Evaluation of different approaches in self-managed learningIn Order to cope up with one of the largest chain of supermarket in the United Kingdom, therequirement for peripheral and in-depth knowledge is highly required. As stated by Moon (2013,p.132), employees are constantly thriving to look for advanced ways to increase the abilities ofself management. Some of the effective approaches that can help in strengthening the base oflearning are:The use of social media and discussion forumsThe usage of social media like twitter, Linkedin, Tumblr and Pinterest are some of the mostefficient site in today’s world, which can be easily accessed at any point of time. Though themethod is simple and available, it is one of the fastest and wise ways to train one in selfmanagement. The reading of forums and discussing issues and sharing experiences in forums isan effective way to make progress.Attending conferences and seminarsAttending business seminars or joining short tours can provide the individual with betterexposure to the real world scenarios which can shape up the existing knowledge. In addition,3

organisations like Sainsbury can indulge employees in self management learning programs, forstaff development progress.Kolb and Honey and Mumford model in learning Using the Kolb’s model of learning, the organisation can also gain definite knowledge, whichcan help to minimise the risks and understand the problems. In the view of Tseng and Kuo(2014, p.39), Kolb’s model of learning can be used by the organisations in order to learn things.The Kolb’s model of learning is centralized on a cyclic process of experience, reflect,conceptualise and plan. Organisations, in terms of housekeeping can be termed as themanagement of operations and works, which can be managed in an effective way throughapproaching both the Kolb’s model and Honey and Mumford’s model of learning. In terms of the Kolb’s learning model, the organisation can learn from their executed actions,which can help them to reflect and evaluate the situation. From analysing the situation, theorganisations can gain conceptualise the barriers and other concerns, which helps to plan in aneffective and efficient manner. In the opinion of Dixon et al. (2014, p.114), the effectiveplanning can help top execute efficient actions, which can help the organisation to maintain theirorganisational processes and housekeeping in a proper manner. On the other hand, Honey and Mumford is based on the Kolb’s model of learning, where anorganisation needs to have proper intellectual abilities and knowledge, in order to research on theconcerned issues. Moreover, in the opinion of Lambrechts et al. (2013, p.69), an organisationneeds to have proper capabilities and skilled employees in order to maintain their housekeepingin a proper manner. Effective skills and knowledge of employees can help the organisation togain effective research and thus can help to gain effective learning environment withdevelopment of critical learning and thus place effectiveness. 1.2 Proposal of methods enforcing lifelong personal and professional learning The proposal for encouraging personal and professional development involves the way in whichthe action plan shall be performed. Learning in a team is one of most effectual way, as humanmindset of learning gets motivated by social learning. Therefore, creating a group of co-workerscan cultivate the untouched ideas of employees from different areas. The main methodologies ofthe proposal can be,4

●maintaining a specific team log or record●learning in groups●collaboration of fresh ideas ●keeping and reviewing team record ●watching educational videos●seminarsThe above techniques shall help the participants understand the gathered ideas. The processtogether shall keep the enthusiasm among employees alive and equally benefit the organisationin setting and discovering skillets of the staff. The organisation can also understand the specificdirection of its staff development, individually. In order to develop the employees in terms of learning and development of knowledge,approaching the educational videos can help them to develop them in both personally andprofessionally. In the view of Cottrell (2015, p.187), individuals can approach the educationalvideos, in order to understand the mechanism and concerned issues, which can help them withconcrete reasoning. On the other hand, the seminars can help the employees to understand thebarriers issues in a practical manner with approaching questionnaires and thus to gain effectiveoutcomes. Seminars in the organisations can be framed to the employees, which can help to understand themechanism of organisational works and thus can help to enhance the capabilities and abilities ofthem. In the view of Hoeve et al. (2014, p.300), high skilled employees help the organisation todeliver their organisational works effectively and efficiently, which helps to gain high customersatisfaction. In addition to that, these seminars, group discussions, educational videos can bemore enhanced with considering the Kolb’s model of learning and Honey and Mumfords, withlearning the things from experiences. The usage of personal construct psychologyAccording to Bayar (2014, p.319), the outcomes can be placed against the personal constructtheory. This theory can assist in evaluating the prediction of assumption skills of each employee,uninfluenced by any external information or data. This shall also help the organization to5

evaluate employee knowledge and execution capabilities. Since the theory of PCP enforcescognitive style of learning, the employee shall be less hesitant to put up the raw set of ideas orknowledge in a team or workshop, in the future.Figure 1: The functioning process of the personal construct psychology theory(Source: Tseng and Kuo, 2014, p.37)Contribution of Kolb’s learning style theoryThe Kolb’s learning cycle mainly controls the cognitive and internal process of learning. Thelearning theory functions on one or more levels of the learning for a learner and can also be usedto assess certain areas of knowledge.Concrete experienceThe concrete experience of learning refers to the extremely new and non existing interpretationsin the entire experience. As mentioned earlier in the study, social learning can provideopportunities to the existing data.Abstract conceptualizationWhereas the abstract ideology is more of an inventory idea that is yet to be implemented and is aexample or theory in order to bring forward other ideas or explanations. This can be used vastlyin the team work.6
