The Individual Learning Plan and HR Decisions
As if I have not written enough on this topic so far this week, I will add just a few more thoughts to this particular Management 250 assignment. Perhaps because of my leanings toward "concrete experience" and "active experiementation" I found the Individual Learning Plan uninteresting and contrived. The emphasis on thoughtful reflection and educated prediction left me feeling dissatisfied with Part I of the Learning Plan prompt. I understand the importance of tying together the self-assesments to create a well-supported picture of my personality, but I struggle to see the relevance of much of the rest of the prompt. The pertinent information included in the Learning Plan could easily be compiled into a file, leaving out the speculation of how one's values will balance one's life, or the sought-after correlation between work and personal life.
On another topic, I was excited to receive our first report concerning Quarter 1 of the HR Simulation. I am pleased with my group's progress and hope that we can continue making solid decisions that achieve our goals of decreasing turnover and increasing morale. The process for the quarterly decisions is becoming habitual and I am encouraged by the lack of detrimental conflict among my teammates. I am interested to see if we reap the same results this week with the new adjustments to our budget.

I agree with Libby's opinion about the report on Quarter 1. It was interesting to see how our group's decision made progress and impact on our goals. I am also looking forward for this quarter's result.
