Body of Knowledge Domain: Professional Development
Apra volunteers have produced a comprehensive overview of the prospect development skill set, but how can this large amount of information translate to professional development for you and your colleagues? This presentation will show – from the perspective of a three-person shop – how the Body of Knowledge was systematically reviewed to appraise skillsets, identify growth opportunities, change internal structures and inform future hiring practices. The presentation will also aim to give a broad view of how the BOK is advancing professionalization and recognition for practitioners within the wider field of prospect development.
Learning objectives:
- Background of the Body of Knowledge and how it is structured
- How study of the BOK has allowed for structured analysis of team competencies and team aspirations
- Issues and challenges experienced studying and implementing the BOK
- How the BOK can lead to increased recognition of the professionalization of the prospect development field
