"Where do you envision your professional journey leading you in the next one to two years? What objectives and aspirations do you have?
Cinode's Growth Plan feature is designed for both consultants and managers. As a consultant, you can articulate your career ambitions, establish and monitor your skills. These insights can then serve as a foundation for your self-development strategy and facilitate meaningful discussions with your manager or team leader.
For managers, this tool offers a comprehensive view of your team members' growth plans. It enables you to understand their career aspirations and support their skills development in alignment with organizational goals.
You have the flexibility to create multiple growth plans. For instance, one could focus on objectives pertinent to your current role, while another might concentrate on personal development.
To explore the various components and specifics of your growth plan, simply click on "growth plan".
