TASK 4
P7: Reflection
I was given a research project to work on in my university. The topic of my project was
“The key challenges and obstacles facing different business sectors in terms of talent
management”. Thus undertaking this particular project and working on it was a totally different
kind of experience for me (Park, 2020). At the starting of the project, I faced a lot of problems
and issues. Thus I developed my personal skills and competencies which helped me in the right
manner effectively and efficiently so that the overall goals and objectives can be developed. I
developed an aim and created objectives to be followed for the project. Project Management Plan
is helpful in ensuring that the project can be completed within a set time-frame. WBS and Gantt
Chart can be helpful in ensuring that the project can be managed in a better manner.
The use of Primary and Secondary Research methods was made by me as I collected the
given information properly. I interpreted this particular information for finding out the
conclusions (Tomany, 2016). This helped me in formulating recommendations for the future.
Reflection can help me in finding out my mistakes which I am making and using a right
approach so that these mistakes can be avoided.
Thus, I think that I made some mistakes at the starting of the project and therefore I think
that by making the use of some useful approaches the company can make sure that it is able to
achieve its different types of goals and objectives in a highly effective manner (Van Hoek,
2016). Therefore, in this way I can make sure that I am able to effectively and efficiently take the
right route towards ensuring that the attainment of success can be done in the future. This will
help me a lot in my Personal and Professional Development in the future as I will be able to
enhance my particular skills and capabilities in the future. The future benefits of the study will be
that I will be able to make sure that I make the use of Talent Management in a better way in the
17

organisation where I will work which will help the organisation in attaining its goals and
objectives in a better manner.

the project.
I made mistakes earlier on in the project and therefore I also started taking different types of
appropriate actions which helped me a lot in dealing with the mistakes which were made by me.
I made sure that I took the appropriate actions for the purpose of rectifying these mistakes
thereby helping me a lot in attainment of the goals and objectives which have been set for the
future.
Thus, after the completion of my project I will rate my own performance as good because I was
able to understand the way in which the project was to be completed in the right manner
effectively and efficiently and used my own understanding skills in a proper way to complete the
project.
