Development Plan
Background
1.) Create your own development plan as it applies to a current organization with which you are involved. In your plan, address the plan objectives, the content of your plan, and the developmental activities.
In creating my development plan we must first look at the objectives and goals of the organization in order to my align my objectives and goals, and identify any performance deficit that may need to be improved in order to help me attain the individual goals, thus helping to attain the organizational goal.

Creating an Alignment for the Development Plan
Strategic planning and performance management are linked together; one cannot be implemented successfully without the other. The first purpose of a PM system is to help top management achieve strategic business objectives; it links organizational goals with individual goals, and thus helps to reinforce behavior that will benefit the entire organization (Aguinis, 2009). By linking individual employee work efforts with the organization’s mission and objectives, the employee and the organization understand how that job contributes to the organization.
In order to have a desirable outcome, an organization must be able to create and set goals. This management process will help solidify the performance management program as well as justify and clarify the performance appraisal program. This should be done by using management by objective (MBO), a method
In order for an organization to achieve long term success, it must consistently evaluate those plans and consider all of the organization’s entities and how they link together. By appraising the existing performance management process, it forces deeper analysis of the process, as well as its intended and unintended influences towards employees and the organization.
When planning assessment you need to gauge a clear idea of what level the candidate is at to see if they are ready to complete your planned assessment.

Performance management relates to an organization’s ability to implement a system to evaluate and advance employee performance. Achieving peak performance requires consistency, clear objectives, and constructive employee evaluation. According to Mithas, Ramasubbu, & Sambamurthy (2011), an organization must design the performance management system based on extensive research about the organization’s mission, and then properly communicate the purpose of the system to employees, stakeholders, and decision makers. After the performing the research, the information should be used to establish the appropriate performance management specialized for the organization.

Performance management is a tool that managers use to ensure that their companies remain at the top of their competitive edge. The Chartered Institute for Personnel Development (CIPD, 2008), defines performance management as a method by which individuals and teams are managed in a way that achieves high performance at an organisational level. The individuals within the organisation share an understanding of the achievement goals of the organisation. In order to achieve this, a general strategy is created, with each individual within the organisation understanding his or her role and requirements within such a strategy
As stated by Peter F. Drucker, “Management is about human beings. Its task is to make people capable of joint performance, to make their strengths effective and their weaknesses irrelevant.” Performance management is essential to achieving an organization 's mission statement and business goals, and also in attracting, retaining, and motivating qualified employees. There are many benefits and reasons why an organization should execute a performance management system. Performance appraisals establish the basis for qualifying, recognizing, and rewarding employee contributions. In this paper, I will discuss what performance management is, the problems with the current performance management system at my organization, how other organizations have succeeded in their performance management system and how I would advise management at my current organization to improve our performance management system.
Performance management is the process of planning work assignments, setting expectations, monitoring processes, rating performance, and rewarding performance. Performance management systems are used by organizations to identify, measure, and develop the performance of individuals and teams. The goal of an effective performance management system is to strategically align employee performance with company goals and objectives (Smither & London, 2009). In order to achieve optimal performance, organizations are tasked with implementing innovative solutions that ensure performance management systems that deliver real results and improve performance (MacMillan, 2015). Organizational leaders are responsible for understanding the performance management system in order to focus on employee efforts that will help in achieving both individual and organizational goals (Opm.gov). In this paper, the author will suggest the key processes that DSM needs to provide within its system in order to successfully link its key success factors (KSF). The author will select three drivers, and examine the central manner in which DSM management has aligned its business strategies to performance management. Lastly, the author will critique DSM’s competitive advantage by using three of the six assessment points outlined in the textbook.
When the concept of management by objectives (MBO) became widely recognised in the 1950s, performance management systems moved towards those based on achieving goals, or success in key accountabilities (or key job impact areas)(Pratt 2001). Research between 1950 and 1980 was focussed primarily on improving the instruments used in making performance

Companies Performance Management system need to concentrate on the overall improvement the way the company performs. They achieve this by managing the performances of all personnel within the company no matter who they may be. This can be attained by ensuring that everyone within the company truly understands what the overall mission and goals that have been set for them within the company. Performance Management system has a very distinct way that it can manage the performance of the entire company and as long as everyone understands the goals that the company sets forth than the company as a whole will meet those goals. The developmental objective is fulfilled by defining the training requirements of the employees based on the results of the reviews and diagnosis of the individual and organizational competencies.
