Why consider implementing the Specialist Development Programme?
Specialist Focus
Many companies have a long tradition of leadership development but no development solutions for specialists.
Structured Approach
Many organisations do not have uniform development solutions for their specialist and experts.
Role clarity / Career Pathing
A lot of managers struggle to clearly define the roles of specialists and help specialists develop further in their current jobs for further promotions as experts.
Specialist Pipeline Concept
Specialists are becoming increasingly scarce. Companies must, of course, provide specialists with the same development opportunities and career trajectories as managers in order to retain professionals. Companies can achieve this by successfully implementing the Specialist Pipeline Concept.
