Development Tools



What are Development Tools?
Development tools provide input into the development process.

The term "Development" creates a path to improvement and is preferred above the term "assessment tools", which can have a judgemental implication and create defensive behaviour when receiving feedback.

Development tools include:

  • Self assessment questionnaires
  • 360 degree feedback process
  • Individual behavioural profiles
  • Blended learning programs
  • Structured performance management systems
  • Reference material
  • Mentoring processes

How can Development Tools be used?
Development tools can be used individually or as part of a structured personal, or organisational, development process.

Best Practice for Development Tools
Best practice in use of development tools involves those tools being used as a component of a structured development process and not used in isolation.
