Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the means by which
the professions across the world ensure that their knowledge and
skills remain up to date and relevant to changing needs and
environments. CPD significantly contributes to the quality and
reputation of the professions and therefore to the quality of
national and international social life and economic well being.
Starting with a discussion on what CPD is, the author analyzes
how professional bodies govern CPD, what support they provide to
individual professionals and how they measure or evaluate what
individuals do under the provenance of CPD. Continuing Professional
Development explains why, up to now, CPD has been a relatively
neglected subject in spite of it being carried out by millions. It
argues whether a variety of perspectives or visions of CPD has held
back wider public appreciation of it and if greater co-ordination
by professional bodies, or the introduction of new players to the
field, will change this in the future.
Providing the first comprehensive study of the subject, this
innovative book will be required reading for CPD professionals and
researchers and is a fascinating read for all professionals,
especially those involved with human resource development and
management / leadership development.
