What is the Professional Map?
The Professional Map is a powerful career development tool designed to support individuals in identifying their training needs and preparing for various aspects of their professional journey. From appraisals and career planning to job applications and progression, this tool serves as a comprehensive guide to success in the workplace, driving excellence and driving positive customer outcomes.
Key Components include:
Technical Expertise – At the heart of the Professional Map lies Technical Expertise, representing the role-specific knowledge and skills essential for excelling in one’s job. This section outlines what individuals need to know to perform their roles proficiently, enabling them to meet business goals effectively.
Behaviours – Behaviours encompass the actions and attitudes individuals demonstrate in their decision-making processes and approach to work and working relationships. This aspect of the Professional Map emphasises how individuals apply their knowledge in various situations, contributing to a positive and productive work environment.
Enablers – Enablers focus on cultivating awareness and understanding of aspects within the working environment that facilitate professional practice. An example of an enabler is comprehending regulations that govern the industry (i.e., compliance with a regulated environment) to effectively apply the required behaviour.
Universal Applicability – Behaviours and Enablers are universal elements that apply to everyone, irrespective of their specific job roles. These essential components play a pivotal role in shaping individuals’ overall professionalism and work ethics.
Job-Specific Implementation – On the other hand, Technical Expertise is unique to each job role. It encompasses the specific knowledge and skills that individuals require to perform their tasks efficiently, ensuring they contribute effectively to their team and organisation.
Benefits – The Professional Map empowers individuals with a comprehensive framework for self-assessment, career growth, and continuous development. By leveraging this tool, individuals can identify areas of improvement, enhance their competencies, and stay aligned with their career goals.
With its robust structure and emphasis on the critical elements of Technical Expertise, Behaviours, and Enablers, the Professional Map is a vital asset for all professionals. It guides them towards fulfilling their potential, achieving personal and organisational success, and delivering exemplary results to customers and stakeholders.
