This is the core textbook for the fourth module as part of my CIPD PG Diploma/ MA in HRM. This is another assignment module rather than an exam based course and I can feel that I am reading this book in that vein. The aim of reading this book is not only to support my understanding of the learning and development environment, but also to support me in developing my assignment which is around designing a management development programme for a case study organisation.
Chapter 1 - Learning and Development in Organisations Today: This chapter gives us the historic information about learning and development and the importance of this in the organisation. This chapter gives some key definitions and some key areas of focus for the field of learning and development. There are some useful points in here to draw into areas of design of a learning and development programme.
Chapter 2 - National Skills Strategy: Chapters like these are always really hard for me to work through, these are the ones that highlight my lack of knowledge in the wider HR field and make me realise that there is more out there for me to experience than just staying in the field that I know and that I am comfortable with. This is the area that makes me realise that I need to do operational HR rather than just a specialist field. This is the government strategy and policy that we should be applying. I find that it is complicated, even set out in a straightforward way like in this book, but it has given me a little bit of an understanding into what to expect and what I need to know, and it actually interests me enough to want to experience it further.
Chapter 3 - Reforming Vocational Education and Training: A lot of the activities in this chapter happened when I was too young to understand or after I had left school so I didn't notice. This was enlightening about the key decision that have made education what it is today.
Chapter 4 - this chapter has given me the basics of where the learning theory has developed from. It has given me a foundation for where I should look to make sure that my assignment is fitting to the requirements of the brief and also fulfills the key learning points.
Chapter 5 - this was interesting and helped me think through how to approach this assignment, where to start with my programme ideas and things that i should be looking out to achieve.
Chapter 6 - this chapter was hard work to understand, i'm not an L&D expert and don't have much to do with this area of HR. But the theory is always interesting to read.
Chapter 7 - this chapter will prove useful for my assignment, this provides some of the key areas to consider when designing a learning and development course
Chapter 8 - has some useful pointers for things to consider to make a successful training course
Chapter 9 - ethics...now how do i combine this into my plan?
Chapters 10 - 14 - these are all about managing L&D in different sectors...its actually quite an interesting read...
Chapters 15 - 18 - these are really the sum up of the book and some of the key challenges that are faced
