About Dr André Smit

Industry Experience With an international management career spanning 30 years and working as a leader of teams and as a developer of people, I have the experience to be a supervisor. My successful managerial career was developed through working in a variety of roles with diverse global organisations such as 3M in South Africa & Australia, Westfield in Australia and The Venetian Sands in Macau. These experiences have made me aware of the importance of human development and I will draw on these practical experiences to help you develop a practical and rigorous academic research thesis.

Scope

• Professional and competency development focus

• You prepare your own Learning & Development (L&D)

Plan

• You will be responsible for realising this plan during your

course - deliver your competencies

• You will need to exploit all available opportunities

• You will need to self manage throughout the program

Overview and rationale for focus on

competenciesAPIC education and program philosophy

– Competencies are focal - “A reliably measurable, relatively enduring

characteristic of an individual which is causally related to and statistically

predicts effective or superior performance in a job" (Spencer, 1997; Spencer &

Spencer, 1993).

– A number of competency areas (units of study) have been

defined by the college. Students decide on which competencies

and to what level they are required to lead to success in their

chosen careers in the environment that they will work/live.


Outcomes and benefits of this workshop

• Understand the underpinning philosophy of the college

• Understand the processes and activities needed in

professional development planning

• Prepare your own L&D Plan

• Benchmark against colleagues

• Test your academic learning and writing skills

9


Expectations

• Hands on participation and initiative

• Ownership of the process

• Responsible for outcomes

• Need to have an approved L&D Plan as baseline for

professional development

• Manage the process in the future

10


Assignment Phase

• This unit of study requires every student to extend and expand on the knowledge learnt during the workshop. Each student needs to prepare and submit two assignments that will be assessed and graded formally:

1. An individual reflective essay to explore all aspects of professionalism focusing on socio-cultural, leadership and personal competences

2. A personal learning and development plan that conforms to the L&D Plan Specification (On OLS).

Note: Students must pass all components

11


Individual Reflective EssayAn essay to succinctly review the literature, particularly focusing on socio-cultural and personal competencies

Task: Each student needs to develop a reflective and critical essay focusing on the socio-cultural and personal competencies we focus on in this unit of study. Each essay is to be a maximum of 1000 words.

Topic: What is the role of socio-cultural competencies for the professional manager in making a positive difference to society?

We are looking for

a) an understanding of what these socio-cultural competencies are,

b) how professional managers use them and/or develop them, and

c) what these competencies help the professional managers to achieve.

Detail: This requires a definition for the specific socio-cultural competence with at least one academicreference (using APA Style referencing) per competency.

Why are these competencies important? i.e. What are the specific outcomes of having, or consequences of not having each one? Remember that the professional manager in today’s society is your context.

Use an example of a professional business leader to exemplify these competencies. How are each competencies operationalised? i.e. How does your leader show these competencies and what specific outcomes do they allow your leader to achieve?
