Module Name: Learning and Talent Development
Module Leader: Dr Luke Fletcher
Coursework Title:
Understanding L&TD in theory and practice
Task Details/Description:
Part One: Individual Essay (35% of mark)
Learning and Talent Development in practice is very much focused on two specific strategies: knowledge management and talent management. It is therefore important that practitioners are aware of the theory and critical issues surrounding these types of strategies. Choose either knowledge management or talent management, as discuss its conceptual and theoretical foundations as well as critical issues that practitioners should be aware of when implementing this type of strategy. You should draw upon relevant, up-to-date research, theory, and evidence to inform your answer.
Part Two: Individual Report (55% of mark)
You are leading a team of Learning and Talent Development Consultants and your brief is to design a learning intervention based on a case brief provided or an organisation of your choice following the systematic training cycle. All elements of the systematic training cycle need to be considered. You need to pay close attention to any barriers that might impact this learning intervention and offer possible solutions to these. The report you provide is a “pitch” to the organisation’s senior management team.
Pass/Fail Engagement with Module (10% of mark) -To pass the module you must attend at least 75% of the module workshops and have completed all 8 of the module quizzes.
Module Learning Outcomes Assessed:
- To engage critically with academic theory underpinning strategic human resource development/learning and talent development.
- To explain and evaluate the relevance of these theories to business practice.
- To design a training intervention that is aligned with business strategy and demonstrates constructive alignment using the systematic training cycle.
The assessment addresses a core part of the CIPD learning standards for the
module including the following CIPD learning outcomes:
1) Critically analyse and evaluate the formulation and implementation of
processes of learning and talent development strategies for defining and
achieving current and future effectiveness at national, organisational,
group and individual levels
2) Critically evaluate the potential and appropriateness of a range of learning
and talent development strategies, interventions and activities
3) Lead the initiation and development of learning and talent development
strategies, interventions and activities (the standards also include “implementation”. The students understanding of “implementation” will be
assessed by their understanding of evaluation measures and the role of
“political” organisational stakeholders
4) Work effectively and collaboratively with key internal and external partners
and stakeholders
5) Critically assess the role and influence of politics of the learning and talent
development policy and practice in a range of contexts
6) Act ethically and professionally
