When to use it
Use it when planning a development goal so you do not rely on courses alone.
How to apply it
- Choose one skill you want to develop this quarter.
- Find a stretch task or project at work that requires that skill.
- Identify a colleague or mentor who can give feedback while you do it.
- Add one short course, book or resource to fill knowledge gaps.
- Review progress with your manager after six to eight weeks.
Tip: Treat the numbers as a balance check, not a target to measure exactly.
