Organisations and participants have to be clear about what they want to achieve from the NMD programme. They should think through precisely what they would like to achieve, the boundaries within which they have to work, the resources available to them and the timescale involved.
They will need to consider the learning and development questions as shown in the diagram. The questions raised in the diagram will enable the participants to identify their learning and development needs in consultation with their immediate supervisor.
They will then undertake a work-based project to address such learning and development needs.
Participants will complete a project plan, monthly reflective reports and a final report on their experiences and future plans.
