Assessed Task 1
A. Strategic Professional Development Portfolio (PDP)
1. Introduction
The professional development plan is a systematic evaluation of a person to know the
professional approach of the person and develop the key aspects and improve them in an ethical
manner. I am currently working with Quality Insulation Company in Milford. I have to take care
of day to day working sin Oracle E-business. Sales performing job and sales figure maintenance
are also taken cared by me. I also participate in inventory management and take part in the
managerial decision-making. The decision-taking from operation support analysis is important
for the company. I have a good knowledge of the product management as in the earlier company
I used to be habituated with such things. I took care of internal and external stakeholders and
controlling the company's share market through internal research. The meeting sessions and
proactive genre of the teamwork is also a part of this team and I find a good place over there. But
for the better organizational position, I left the job and joined Quality Insulation.
I started my professional career from Alfred Medical Centre in 2001 as a Customer
relations officer. I worked there for almost five years and worked on my system-clinical
information understanding. After that, for the better opportunity, I left the job and started to with
Mecure Healthcare Limited. I worked for five years for there also as the designation of customer
relationship officer. Clients have been taken care of me and I created a cultural team to provide
enjoyment to the patients. I also took care of mentorship and boarding education. After leaving
that job to change the dimension of my life I joined Convergys in 2014 and worked as product

marketing advisor. The thing is quite impressive and new for me as I was not aware of this kind
of IT jobs, so the horizon of capability will improve. Supporting team member and maintain the
customer service standing are the other responsibilities that I had to serve the company. I served
less than a year for the company and I contracted for another regional office in Milford. It was a
contractual job and I liked the way it formulated.
Thus, the entire professional career that I encompassed is a process where better
opportunities were always accepted by me. I found something new in every job and changed the
jobs within no time. This is my character that personifies my education, creativity and
knowledge in my professional field. The pro-activeness of working culture helps me to
determine the right job for me. For the career growth and personal development in an aspect of
diversified my horizon, I have tried these innovative career options for me. There were some
incidents that helped me a lot to tackle those situations in the present workplace.
2. Critical Reflection
In case of the organization, managers are the most powerful and respectable person who
can take decisions for the future understating of the organization. The vision of the managers and
their mentality to change the dimension of the company is effective and illustrative in some cases
that impacted on the organizational development and the infrastructure. Employees are the asset
of the organization and symbolic framing of product environment is needed for the development
of the organization. Inspiration needed from the managers and leaders to the employees so that
better work culture will be persisted in the organization. In my case, as I rotated some of the
companies in some years’ gap basis, I found that companies want a similar of thing of
production, quality, promotion and recognition in the market. In order to understand the

7
STRATEGIC PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT
organization policies, I noticed that employee engagement, motivation and all other aspects are
related to the development of the production. In my perspective, I find that decision making is
one of the qualities that I possess and that will impact on my behavior. Most of the organizations
are business minded, I think my decision making thoughts are encouraging for organizational
development. Uncertainty nature is possessed in me and that is the reason, I cannot stay for long
in an organization and also my mentality loves the change.
I have leadership qualities in me and I know how to motivate people. In case of stable
position in the organization, development of the production department is needed. Team
productivity is another motivating aspect of the organization as working in a team is a capability
of mine. I have subjective knowledge as well. Though I started my career from Medical Center
and my knowledge is based on customer relation so better management handling is in my nature.
Innovation is one of the changes that organization has implemented in several times. In that case,
the changed mentality of organizational difference and development of career is also related to
the penetrating market extension of the product. In that case, my career will be framed in case of
the managerial level where I have to manage the entire organization body for the better business
development.
I chose general goals, objectives that can be easily achievable for me and the organization
inthe initial year of taking responsibility. I also set the outline for the organization’s
infrastructure planning and so that, the workplace diversity will remain same.Employees are
enough motivated and balance working culture is persisted by them in the organization.
Progressive people are important for the organization and in that case, I will choose those people
who are productive as well as efficient for the organization. In always trying to understand the
demand of the customer and what exactly they want from us and try to deliver as per their

requirement. I also need some expert advice and training processes to overcome the loopholes
that can be identified by me and if I do the same then it will be a positive change of performance.
In case of organizational promotion, some decisions need to be taken; in that case, I can take
initiative on behalf of my employees to manage the change in the organization.

the section.
Table 1: My strengths and development areas
(Source: Created by Author)
Leadership: I know the leadership styles and responsibilities. From the very first day of
my universities and professional journey, I used to follow many leaders so I know their style and
now understand what steps are needed to be required for making a good team.
Communication: I have to improve my communication skill as I am quite an introvert
type so people may have a wrong thinking regarding me. But this is not true, so I have a speak
more with my team and co-operate with them to mitigate any sort of problem through
communication.
Cross-cultural management: Different sectional people accumulate in the organization
so conflict situation is quite obvious, in that case, I have to manage the people over there and
also understand their understanding for making the proper place of organizational development.
Strategic thinking: As a manager, strategic thinking is important to change the
dimension of the organization. In many cases, strategic planning is required for the organization
when the stagnant situation needs to be changed, managers thinking and knowledge is important
for the section.
4. Conclusion
Therefore it can be concluded that understanding of strengths and weakness is important
for the professional development. In analyzing my professional career, I have recognized some
of the areas I need to improve and some of the sections where I am quite better and need to

STRATEGIC PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT
sharpen those for the better development. In my life, I am quite challenging and that is the reason
most of the leadership qualities are in me to manage a team or even an organization. I have to
improve my leadership style and implantation of leadership and need to improve the
communication that will help the professional understanding of the employee. I can take good
decisions but in case of strategic changes in the organization, development is needed. A
development action plan is required for that case to measure my improvement in short, mid and
long-term ways.
