Management development through self managed learning: the case of West Sussex County Council
The Advanced Management Development Programme (AMDP) was introduced by West Sussex County Council, UK, in 1999. The programme runs in partnership with the University of Chichester, which offer a Post Graduate Diploma in Strategic Management on completion of the programme. Since the commencement of the programme, 134 West Sussex County Council Managers have taken part with a further 14 managers from other Local District and Borough Councils. AMDP is a County Council initiative led by the Chief Executive. It provides a framework for individual participants to design and achieve their own individual learning plan and by doing so contribute to continuing organisational development.
