  1. Build Your Future Now!Professional Development is not OPTIONAL How to Create and Implement a Comprehensive Career Development Framework Developed from the Professional Development Committee Annual Conference Implementation Session

  2. Learning Objectives • Understand that an organization’s capacity to train employees is fundamental to its ability to survive • Understand how a member company set up their university • Options for smaller companies to implement a “scaled” system • Highlight CII PDC offerings available to members • Provide Contacts for additional information

  3. Everyone is a skilled worker • Today – from the receptionist with the high school education to the CFO with an MBA – the entire workforce has become a skilled landscape; that means every position is in need of continuous training/development. Source: Adrian Miller, Adrian Miller Sales Training

  4. Organizations Continue to Struggle to Prepare Workforces to Meet Growth Demands…CII Can Help! Source: Softscape – Results from past three “State of the Global Talent Nation” surveys of HR professionals 2008 2007 94% Not Adequately Prepared 86% Not Adequately Prepared 2006 64% Not Adequately Prepared

  5. Global Trends Fuel the Need for Change • Tightening Labor Market: • 9% fewer workers starting careers than those leaving the workforce through 2011 • Globalization: • Blending of diverse skill sets • Changing Demographics: • Addressing needs of different age groups

  6. Why Invest in Employee Development? • To prepare your employees and your company for the large number of baby boomers who will be retiring in the near future • Increase employee engagement and morale • Training and development can be proactively planned and reflected in business strategies • Increased safety awareness

  7. Fluor • In 2008 Fluor realized that it needed to develop employees to ensure the company’s existence. • There were a large number of new employees joining the company and they needed consistent on-boarding and training in the use of company practices. • Years of experience to retire within the next 5 years • Determined that “Fluor University” would help in all areas.

  8. Development of Fluor University • Fluor University Mission: • Provide an integrated framework for delivering the technical, functional, business and leadership development that drives Fluor’s success.

  9. Development of Fluor University • Published a Comprehensive Course Catalog & Created Detailed Career Development Frameworks for Each Discipline. • Launched the Fluor University Website and Provided a Single Portal to Fluor’s Learning and Development Resources. • Initiated an Online Career Development Planning Capability. • Implemented Video Distance Learning System & other Low Cost on-line learning opportunities. • Selected Regents and Deans and others to assist with development and governance of the University.

  10. Development of Fluor University • Let’s look at each position’s responsibility: • Board of Regents – Chaired by CEO and Business Group Presidents • Ensures Fluor University drives business results • Provides overall strategic direction and focus • University Council – Senior level managers from each Business Group • Provides strategic linkage to the business • Is the ‘voice’ of the business and corporate groups to the university • College Deans – Experienced and respected leader for each discipline • Develops and manages curricula and programs needed to drive business results • Defined curricula linked to business strategies • Global Excellence Leaders – Most often duel role for College Deans • Define specific discipline courses

  11. Navigating Fluor University • Fluor University is accessed from the Fluor homepage. We will now explore how they set up their electronic University. • 26 Colleges covering all disciplines (e.g. Project Controls, Project Management, etc.) • Colleges are lead by Deans who are the GELs or Functional Leads of each area • 50 Career Development Frameworks covering most job families • Instructor led courses • On line courses available 24/7 • As with any system, Fluor continues to fine tune the University and make improvements.

  12. Navigating Fluor University • Fluor University is accessed from the Fluor homepage.

  13. Navigating Fluor University • Fluor University Homepage • On the left, employees can search for a course and see what’s new. Under the first tab, employees learn more about the University and the governing members.

  14. Navigating Fluor University • Under this tab, employees will find the Career Development Plan or the CDP. This on-line career development plan allows employees to chart their future.

  15. Navigating Fluor University • The next tab contains links to the individual colleges

  16. Let’s Talk the Career Development Plan (CDP) Process • The Career Development Plan process is very important to both the individual employee as well as the company. The process allows an employee to identify, track and close goals which will assist them with their own development • Fluor as with many other companies, endorses the 70, 20, 10 methodology. • 70% of development comes from experience – such as a stretch assignment either on their current project or on a new project or maybe in a new location. The stretch assignment might be in a different function, business line, corporate or staff role. • 20% of development is accomplished with mentoring. • 10% is actual training, either on-line or classroom.

  17. The Career Development Plan (CDP) Process • The CDP assigns the responsibility for creating the plan to the employee. The employee’s manager, mentor or sponsor all have access to the completed plan at anytime. • The Career Development Plan contains: • The employee’s current role and how it is developing for the future • Development needs are identified and a S.M.A.R.T. goal is developed for that need • An Action Plan is developed utilizing the course catalog and the Career Frameworks

  18. The Career Development Plan (CDP) Process • As mentioned earlier, Fluor has developed over 50 Development Frameworks across all functions. • The Frameworks contain various levels for each function. • In the following example is for Contract Management you can see that there is an Entry Level, Intermediate Level and Senior Level Framework. • Included in the framework are: • Required Courses • Recommended Courses • Required Reading • Recommended Reading • Recommended Experiences and • Performance Competencies. • The following example is from Contract Management. As you will see the framework is divided into three levels: entry, intermediate and senior.

  19. The Career Development Plan (CDP) Process • Fluor has created an electronic Career Development Plan as shown here.

  20. So How Do You Get Started? • We realize that not all companies have the resources available to them that Fluor does, so developing a University might not work. Here are some ideas of how smaller companies can implement a smaller scale program. • Identify if the current employee appraisal or development process allows for setting of development goals. If not, see if adding a section is possible. • Establish career frameworks for individual career paths within the company to allow employees to understand growth potential. • Compile all training and development activities into a catalog and make accessible to all employees. • Identify a method to track all training and experience based development activities.

  21. Utilize the CII Resources Available A great starting point for creation of a comprehensive development program is the resources available to you through the Professional Development Committee. Including: The CII Education Modules, Online Education, Continuing Education Courses and Web Seminars Find them at: https://www.construction-institute.org/scriptcontent/prodev.cfm?section=prodev

Failure to address these causes results in project disruption, cost overruns, unmet schedules, and can lead to unacceptable litigation costs. This web seminar will explore various methods to successfully prevent and resolve disputes: preconstruction techniques; dispute prevention techniques; dispute resolution techniques; and conflict resolution techniques. • Michael P. Pappas, Ph.D, P.E., Pappas Consulting LLC

  25. Utilize the Professional Development Continuum • The Professional Development Continuum is an online resource to help organizations plan the development of new construction project managers (3 to 5 years of experience).
